As of 19 April 2021, the Conference on the Future of Europe multilingual digital platform1
has been open for contributions. Citizens from across the EU now have the possibility to provide their views on any topic that they consider important for the future of the European Union.
Unfortunately, the site is only available in the 24 EU official languages. It seems that citizens belonging to EU national and/or linguistic minorities will also be able to participate in their language, but it is not made clear on the site how to do so.
Can the Commission explain where to find information on how citizens can use their regional
language on the platform?
The EU institutions should make a great effort with national and linguistic minorities and encourage
the 50 million EU citizens who speak a non‑official EU language to participate in the platform in their
own language.
How is the Commission promoting participation in the platform in all national and regional official
languages?
How will the Commission facilitate this participation, especially of citizens belonging to national and
linguistic minorities who live in a Member State that is not their country of origin?
