European guidelines qua language skills

In its 2003 action plan, the European Commission proposes that all European Union citizens should learn at least two foreign languages. They advise to start early, i.e. in nursery school. (The European Commission is a thinktank, it supplies recommendations to the European governments, but it doesn’t have executive power.)
