	Absolutely ( pardonne mois me nes facilite pas de escrive en france )
this is a no brainer as they say. But then again you have to take into account
cultural presence, not imperialism. The anglic presence dur to media/pop stars
etc is overabundant. Where the French influence is next to not existant.
	Yet in other parts of the world Spanish is so much better like the
southern US, ( South Bronx NYC  too :-) ). It is all a matter of who has
the largest presence and inevitably inertia.
	I do not subscribe to the cultural imperialism idea, people will have what
they want , that is why salsa is so popular in latino cultures and not rock,
now if you are part of a culture that has lost its raison d'etre then
you will probably be anglicised as easily as you can be russianized or antything
else for that matter.

	To recoup the language issue is mute, EU should not impose any official 
language, or maybe the official language should be the one of the country
that has the presidency at the time, and every country should be responsible
to provide its own translators.

	This way we can maintain some modicum of democracy and equaltity.
