That explains why the EU's operating language is German. er no actually , it used to be French, but now is English
English is the operating language within the UE, no question about that. Now, in working committees and assemblies where interpreting is needed, there are 3 pivotal languages, English, French and German, owing to translating cost pressure, so that if the portuguese member wants to understand the finnish representative, he will hear him translated through these 3 languages. Same thing with working papers.

New Zealand is certainly a beautiful place to live in, too bad they expect a big earthquake "anytime now"

My best friend has a place in Casteljaloux and I visit him often.
Clam, if you happen to drive through Auvergne from St Flour to Espalion, do stop at Laguiole and ask for the restaurant where they serve a superb aligot, and enjoy it. You can have it with local Marcillac red wine, Bonnes vacances !

The French and Germans alternately tried to control Europe by military conquest, they now realize it is easier to do through the EU. Joining the EU to place one's nation under their thumb.
Sorry, BTS, but my point was not about any conquest of Europe by large european countries. It was rather referring to the numerous opportunities England has had in the latest 50 years to have its say in european undertakings, which it lost because of its insular spirit, as its leaders thought that the country would manage better if it were going on its own or in structures which it set up as rivals of the ones that were created around France and Germany. Later on Britain has jumped on the european bandwagon but did so cap in hand, not in a controlling position. I'm referring to the Common market in 1957 but also to Ariane project, Airbus and, of course, to the euro, not to mention its numerous "opt out" stands in various EU regulations. As far as European construction is concerned Britain dwelt for too long a time on its past imperial grandeur or on its supposed privileged relationship with the US and has failed to grasp the sense of history. True, that is changing now, but slowly.

I’d like to live in the south of France if it wasn’t for the fact that there are a load of French people living there.
The problem with the Brits is that ever since the middle age they have kept thinking that they deserve France more than the French do
