Europe wants to achieve anything in common
It's unclear if "Europe" wants anything of the sort at this point, and you seem to assume that English would be the common language, which is not unreasonable since it's the one currently being used, but it's not politically acceptable, and it'll be worse if the UK finally decides to leave.
Note also that Europe is probably the part of the world where minority languages are in better shape.
E.g Catalan is spoken by 4 million native speakers, which is more than all of the native american language speakers combined.
- WildUtah 10y agoMayan and Nahuatl (Aztec) are each spoken by more than that before we even address the much more diverse South American languages. Europe is far from the most prosperous place for minority languages. SE Asia and Central America are far better.
- Typhon 10y agoI thought I'd written 'North America', but apparently I didn't, so yeah, point taken. Even if there are more minority languages in SE Asia and South America, I'm not sure they're treated better there than in Europe.
