The French Foreign Ministry yesterday announced the three-year plan,
designed, they say, to promote the language in the 10 new EU member states
as well as Bulgaria and Romania. Each wave of enlargement in the European
Union in recent decades has resulted in an increase in the prominence of
English in Europe, often to the detriment of French. Indeed, the number of
European Commissioners from the new member states who speak Russian is
said to be more than those who speak French.
