European enterprises need to compete effectively in the global marketplace. The ELAN study, carried out for the European Commission during 2006 by CILT (the UK National Centre for Languages) suggests that there is enormous potential for businesses in Europe to increase their total exports if they invest more in languages and develop coherent language strategies. One of Commissioner Orban's objectives is to explore the concrete contribution that multilingualism can make to growth and jobs.
