I don't think GP's desire to minimise language barriers among 27 co-operating governments implies that they are oblivious to cultural bias.

I do think the latter is an issue worth addressing, but this is probably not an effective or appropriate way to do it.

OP's solution to cultural bias is to ignore it and just go with convenience.

Well, you have to start somewhere. But I agree that the only thing it's likely to do is annoy the heck out of everybody.

I think they said French because if they had said French or German the other bodies might have used only German just to annoy the French back.
