Mandatory English, Spanish and Russian/Mandarin in all EU schools could make so much difference. Parents and VOD services would optimize the rest for the ego boost gained from smart offspring.

Interesting, you skipped German and French for Spanish and Russian.
I only think about global trade and the biggest markets, sorry.
Really, Russia is a bigger Market than Germany/Austria/Swiss, not so sure about that.
Did you know, that French was the main language of the European Union until the brits entered and funny enough, they left 2 years ago again :D
I kind of view all EU as domestic market. Also Russian is not spoken solely in Russia. I just didnt want to put Mandarin alone and skip that huge piece of land between them and the EU.
Wait, were there a timeframe when French wasnt the main language of the EU?
Between the late 40s and 70s, all Europeans had to learn french and all meetings and documents had to be french. And then with the fast-rising popularity of the English language and the UK joining EU, they switched to English.
Of course in theory, depending on how good your education and wealth status is, you might still be living in southern Rumania and don't give a damn.
