The US, Hollywood, Nazi Germany and The Soviet Union has made English the lingua franca of the world. It makes sense to use it. That said, French is the working language of much of the EU bureaucracy so there's probably a French version out there somewhere.
- caiob 9y agoShouldn't the first version be in French then?

I hear German is not that popular, though, so it's mostly French and English. I would guess the politicians lean towards English and the bureaucracy towards French, if nothing else then simply because Brussels is mostly a French-speaking city.
