[1] Компетенции, содержащиеся в пункте 2, относятся исключительно к сфере изучения иностранного языка и изложены в трактовке по документам ЕС (1996) «Современные языки: изучение, преподавание, оценка. Общеевропейская компетенция владения иностранным языком» и Европейскому языковому портфелю (1997).

[2] A comparison with the market for newspapers and journals might be helpful. A quick glance at any kiosk immediately reveals that the market provides for the reading demands of very specialized tastes There are certainly not less than a dozen journals solely devoted to the opera or to art museums, but also to collectors of toy soldiers or old turn there. If publications in different languages are considered, the supply even in such very specialized subjects becomes virtually uncountable.

Such an opinion is most probably fuelled by tendencies such as the often lamented drop in program quality after the liberalization of European TV markets. The author doubts, however, that the market is to be held responsible; it is rather the case that (1) subsidies for programs about art that use the medium as an art form of its own go to specialized channels (e.g. ARTE), or (2) producers use wrong or doubtful measures of success (i.e. net viewer ratings instead of aggregated willingness to pay for advertised goods).
