Recital 6
(6) Beneficiaries of international protection who are long-term residents should enjoy equality of treatment with citizens of the Member State of residence in a wide range of economic and social matters, under certain conditions, so that long-term resident status constitutes a genuine instrument for the integration of long-term residents in the society in which they live. Language training should be provided by the Member States to beneficiaries of international protection in order to facilitate integration. Member States should also be encouraged to develop training programmes about the fundamental laws and core values of the Member State of residence and the principles of democracy, human rights and equality, as well as individual rights and obligations in that Member State.
