The EU is well aware that multilingualism
needs to be rightly channeled. Language issues could raise social
divisions if it is not properly managed where mobile multilingual
candidates gain jobs at the expense of monolingual, prevent EU citizens
and firms from making the most single market or hinder cross border
cooperation and local services for example hospitals, courts, or job
centers.
However the policy drafted by the EU is not legal binding and
quite fluid where the EU must also get the consent of the member states.
If in this case of language issue in Europe and Single Working Language
being raised, the EU needs to check the consequences in various
spectrum as well as it is intergovernmental in nature for decision and
policy making although being a supranational regional body.
