<br><div>Hi Lowlanders,</div>
<div>Risking the wrath of many of you,</div>
<div>I would advocate ONE language</div>
<div>as the lingua franca for the EU,</div>
<div>for expediency I would choose </div>
<div>Basic English. </div>
<div>This would STRENGTHEN the </div>
<div>position of the other languaguages, </div>
<div>IN PARTICULAR the so-called</div>
<div>minority languages. It would</div>
<div>avoid such sillinesses as described</div>
<div>in Roger's posting below</div>
