Council conclusions on language competences to enhance mobility

The Council adopted conclusions on language competences to enhance mobility which are aimed primarily at re-emphasising that language learning is a key factor in enhancing individual mobility and employability, as well as having a positive impact on competitiveness.

The Polish Presidency recalled that language learning was one of its key priorities in the field of education and training: in addition to the social and cultural benefits it brings, multilingual citizens are better placed to take advantage of the many educational, professional and economic opportunities created by an integrated Europe.
