The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia draws the attention of
the Secretariat General to a technical error contained in Armenia's instrument of
ratification of the Charter.
When depositing the instrument of ratification, an error of translation occurred,
namely Armenia made undertakings concerning Article 12 of the Charter, where the subparagraph
c) was included. Indeed, by decision N-247-2 of 28 December 2001 of the National Assembly,
Armenia is bound by subparagraph d) of Article 12.

In ratifying the European Charter for Regional and Minority Languages, the Republic
of Cyprus deposited on 26 August 2002, a declaration which appears to be incompatible
with the provisions of the Charter on undertakings to be applied to it.
In order to remove uncertainty and clarify the extent of the obligations undertaken,
the Republic of Cyprus hereby withdraws the declaration of 26 August 2002 and replaces
it with the following :
The Republic of Cyprus, while reiterating its commitment to respect the objectives
and principles pursued by the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages,
declares that it undertakes to apply Part II of the Charter in accordance with Article
2, paragraph 1, to the Armenian language as a "non-territorial" language defined in
Article 1c of the Charter.
The Republic of Cyprus would further like to state that its Constitution and laws
uphold and safeguard effectively the principle of equality and non-discrimination
on the ground of a person's community, race, religion, language, sex, political or
other convictions, national or social descent, birth, colour, wealth, social class
or any ground whatsoever.

Further to its Declaration of 3 August 2005, the Republic of Cyprus declares that
the Cypriot Maronite Arabic is a language within the meaning of the European Charter
for Regional on Minority Languages, to which it will apply the provisions of Part
II of the Charter in accordance with Article 2, paragraph 1.
In doing so, the Republic of Cyprus further declares that, since the Cypriot Maronite
Arabic is also used in the village of Kormakitis, cradle of the said language, situated
in an area of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus under Turkish military occupation
since 1974 in which the Republic does not exercise effective control, it excludes
any interpretation of the Charter's provision in this regard that would be contrary
to it, particularly its Article 5.

In accordance with Article 2, paragraph 2, and Article 3, paragraph 1, of the European
Charter for Regional or Minority Languages, Denmark declares that it will apply the
following provisions of Part III of the Charter to the German minority language in
Southern Jutland:
Article 8, paragraph 1 a iii; b iv, c iii/iv, d iii; e ii, f ii, g; h; i; paragraph
2;
Article 9, paragraph 1 b iii; c iii; paragraph 2 a/b/c;
Article 10, paragraph 1 a v; paragraph 4 c; paragraph 5;
Article 11, paragraph 1 b i/ii, c i/ii; d, e i, f ii; g, paragraph 2;
Article 12, paragraph 1 a; b; d; e; f; g; paragraph 2; paragraph 3
Article 13, paragraph 1 a; c; d; paragraph 2 c;
Article 14, a; b.
The Danish Government considers that Article 9, paragraphs 1 b iii, and 1 c iii, does
not preclude that national procedural law may contain rules which require that documents
produced in a foreign language before courts as a general rule be accompanied by a
translation.
The Danish Realm comprises Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
Section 11 of Act No. 137 of 23 March 1948 on Home Rule of the Faroe Islands states
that "Faroese is recognized as the principal language, but Danish is to be learnt
well and carefully, and Danish may be used as well as Faroese in public affairs."
By virtue of the said Act the Faroese language enjoys a high degree of protection
and the provisions of the Charter will therefore not be applicable to the Faroese
language, cf. Article 4 (2) of the Charter. For this reason, the Danish Government
does not intend to submit periodical reports according to Article 15 of the Charter
as far as the Faroese language is concerned.
Denmark's ratification of the Charter does not in any way prejudice the outcome of
the negotiations on the future constitutional status of the Faroe Islands.
Section 9 of Act No. 577 of 29 November 1978 on Greenland Home Rule states that:
"(1) Greelandic shall be the principal language, Danish must be thoroughly taught.
(2) Either language may be used for official purposes."
By virtue of the said Act the Greenlandic language enjoys a high degree of protection
and the provisions of the Charter will therefore not be applicable to the Greenlandic
language, cf. Article 4(2) of the Charter. For this reason, the Danish Government
does not intend to submit periodical reports according to Article 15 of the Charter
as far as the Greenlandic language is concerned.
Upon instruction the Representation hereby transmits certified translations into English
of the Greenland Home Rule Act of 29 November 1978 and the Home Rule Act of the Faroe
Islands of 23 March 1948, on the basis of which mandatory consultations were held
as part of the ratification process. Attention is drawn to sections 9 and 11 respectively
and to the corresponding lists of matters brought under Home Rule.

France intends to make the following declaration in its instrument of ratification
of the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages:
1. In so far as the aim of the Charter is not to recognise or protect minorities but
to promote the European language heritage, and as the use of the term "groups" of
speakers does not grant collective rights to speakers of regional or minority languages,
the French Government interprets this instrument in a manner compatible with the Preamble
to the Constitution, which ensures the equality of all citizens before the law and
recognises only the French people, composed of all citizens, without distinction as
to origin, race or religion.
2. The French Government interprets Article 7-1, paragraph d, and Articles 9 and 10
as posing a general principle which is not in conflict with Article 2 of the Constitution,
pursuant to which the use of the French language is mandatory on all public-law corporations
and private individuals in the exercise of a public service function, as well as on
individuals in their relations with public administrations and services.
3. The French Government interprets Article 7-1, paragraph f, and Article 8 to mean
that they preserve the optional nature of the teaching and study of regional or minority
languages, as well as of the history and culture which is reflected by them, and that
the purpose of this teaching is not to remove from pupils enrolled in schools on the
national territory the rights and obligations applicable to all those attending establishments
providing the public education service or associated therewith.
4. The French Government interprets Article 9-3 as not opposing the possible use only
of the official French version, which is legally authoritative, of statutory texts
made available in the regional or minority languages, by public-law corporations and
private individuals in the exercise of a public service function, as well as by individuals
in their relations with public administrations and services.
France will specify in its instrument of ratification of the European Charter for
Regional or Minority Languages, pursuant to Article 3-1 thereof, the regional or minority
languages to which the measures to be selected in accordance with Article 2-2 shall
apply. In conformity with Article 2-2, France intends to undertake to apply some or
all of the following paragraphs or sub-paragraphs of Part III of the Charter:
Article 8:
Sub-paragraphs 1.a.iii, 1.b.iv, 1.c.iv, 1.d.iv, 1.e.i, 1.e.ii, 1.f.ii, 1.g, 1.h, 1.i

[(1) Note from the Secretariat:
The Note verbale read as follows:
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Hungary presents its compliments
to the Secretariat General of the Council of Europe and has the honor to draw its
attention to a technical error contained in the instrument of ratification deposited
by the Republic of Hungary, namely that the languages enumerated in respect of which
Hungary makes undertakings concerning Part III of the European Charter for Regional
or Minority Languages, do not include the Serbian language.
Indeed, the Republic of Hungary, by Decision No. 35/1995 (IV.7) of the Parliament,
of which an official translation in French is appended, has ratified Part III of the
Charter, accepting also the Serbian language and with the same options as those enumerated
in the instrument of ratification of 19 April 1995. Hungary's obligations with regard
to the Serbian language become therefore operative from the date of entry into force
of the European Charter for Regional of Minority Languages in respect of Hungary.
Decision of the Parliament No. 35/1995 (IV.7)
On the ratification of the European Charter on Regional or Minority Languages
and on the undertakings taken by the Republic of Hungary
in conformity with its Article 2, litt. 2,
The Parliament, on a proposition from the Government:
1. Ratifies the European Charter on Regional or Minority Languages, elaborated on
5 November 1992, which text is reproduced in Appendix No. 1.
2. Agrees that the undertakings taken in conformity with Article 2, litt. 2, of the
Charter reproduced in Appendix No. 2 extend to the Croatian, German, Romanian, Serbian,
Slovakian, Slovenian languages.
3. Invites the President of the Republic to issue the instrument of ratification.
4. Invites the Minister of Foreign Affairs to deposit the instrument of ratification
and the inventory of the undertakings taken.]
