European Federalism

Currently, the Parliament and the Ombudsman meet in Strasbourg (France) and frequently also in Brussels (Belgium).

Both Councils and the Commision meet in Brussels and ocassionally in Luxembourg (Luxembourg).

Both Courts and the Investment Bank are in Luxembourg, but the Central Bank is in Frankfurt (Germany).

Both Committees and the Defense agency meet exclusively in Brussels.

The Translation center is in Luxembourg.

Europol headquarters are in The Hague (the Netherlands), Frontex's are in Warsaw (Poland) and the EUSPA's are in Prague (Czechia).

Other institutions and bodies have offices in all other countries save for Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria and Cyprus

Do you think this is a strenght? Should power be distributed equally among members? Should it be avoided that one member houses all three branches of government? Should seats be moved on an annual or biannual basis, like other institutions do?

I know this is a question that is discussed all the time but I would like to see this community going so I will try to create a discussion here.

So what I mean is not only about language used at level of European institutions, but more about setting a standard for European citizens. While English is closest to the standard "European" language nowadays, as far as I know there is a huge difference between the amount of English speakers in different European countries, not to even mention the level of fluency of those who can speak English. How do you think this problem will/should be solved? Further emphasis on teaching/learning English? Eventually, do you think finding different "lingua franca" for European Union is possible? Also, what do you think the attitude of member states will be to potentially going "bilingual" in the future?
