Long-term, would people really mind if their politicians speak English when participating at the 'federal' level? I can't imagine there would be such a large objection, and as a rule in my experience with Germans (the largest EU economy by a large margin, followed by the UK), they are proud English speakers, and English is a requirement for serious business or political participation. Germany and the UK would almost certainly be all right with federal English, and together account for 39% of the EU economy. The French (third-largest) have different feelings but I doubt that they would object to the simple fact of their leaders speaking English at the federal level. Just Germany, France, and UK, together account for 55% of the EU economy. Smaller countries would have more trouble adapting, but, really, how many leaders need to be involved at the 'federal' level? Local government can, of course, remain in its own language. I don't see why this isn't the correct solution long-term.
