European Day of Languages
Mrs Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, introduced a round-table on languages, competitiveness and employability in the Auditorium of the Breydel building in Brussels (Belgium).
Entrepreneur Franz Huber explained how his team's linguistic abilities helped him expand his map-publishing business from Germany markets as far apart as the Balkans and China.
The participating representatives discussed their approach to languages with Cathy Smith, a former BBC TV presenter and Brussels based news correspondent.
