Origin

2017 - Fourth part-session

In the draft resolution, delete paragraph 13.

Explanatory note

The report refers to the situation in Ukraine and not to other member States. This paragraph is profoundly inaccurate concerning at least Romania where all the national minorities, including the Ukrainian one, are, upon their request, beneficiaries of a monolingual education (Taras Shevcenko high school in Sighetu Marmatiei).
