Across Europe there remains the overarching need for clear, unambiguous language legislation that protects our languages at state, European and international levels. Therefore, following current best practices, ELEN recommends: At the State level: 1) That States empower each indigenous language minority in their jurisdiction with the powers and funding to manage their own language maintenance and recovery policies. 2) That France, Italy and Greece ratify the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, without further delay. 3) That France responds to the Special Rapporteurs Communication on regional language education in France, and acts to protect its so-called “regional” languages. At the European level: 4) An EU Directive to protects endangered languages and that ensures their recovery. At the UN level: 5) Upgrade the UN Declaration on Minorities into a binding UN Convention. 6) That the Convention contains clear unambiguous individual and collective language rights for indigenous minority language speakers. I thank you.
