*RAPID: Multilingualism boosts European
competitiveness*<http://www.infoeuropa.ro/ieweb/jsp/page.jsp?cid=196&lid=2&id=26844>
*Description:* Each year, thousands of European companies lose business and
miss out on contracts as a result of their lack of language skills,
according to a study carried out for the European Commission during 2006 by
CILT, the UK National Centre for Languages, published today. The findings
suggest that there is enormous potential for small businesses in Europe to
increase their total exports if they invest more in languages and develop
coherent language strategies. Recent research shows that companies that
enhance their language skills can exploit better the business opportunities
in the EU's internal market, which, with nearly half a billion people, is
the world's largest.
"Far from being an unwelcome cost to doing business", European Commissioner
for Multilingualism, Leonard Orban, said, "investing in language skills can
dramatically improve a company's business opportunities. I plan to place
multilingualism at the heart of the Lisbon strategy for more growth and
jobs." *News date:* February 23rd, 2007 *Full information:* RAPID:
