>For example, it could also be linked to the new Leonardo II Programme due to

>Another possibility is that it is referring to a particular project funded

>The other option is that it that the article is referring to the European
>Language Label - was launched by the European Commission in the context of
>its 1995 White Paper "Teaching and Learning: towards the learning society"
>which set the objective of helping all EU citizens to become proficient in 3
>European languages. The UK pilot award was originally limited to schools and
