On March 21th, an extraordinary meeting of the General Assembly of the European Federation of National Language Institutions (EFNIL) unanimously decided to grant Ukraine the status of an associate member of EFNIL.
Membership in EFNIL will allow Ukraine to develop a strategy for the legislative protection of the Ukrainian language as the future language of the EU.
EFNIL brings together the national language institutions of the EU member states.
Among the EFNIL’s main tasks are monitoring the implementation of language legislation, protecting state languages, collecting materials on language policy in the EU, and encouraging the study of official European languages for linguistic and cultural diversity in the EU.
