At present there is much talk about Europe, but Europe itself does not speak. Not because it is lacking an office, that gives it voice, but because Europe, in its multilingual position, remains speechless. "In variety united" reads the slogan of the European union, and not "From many united." Accordingly it committed itself not only to a variety of cultures and religions, but also varied languages. A solution is not in sight. O. van Zijl
