Is that a joke?

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was
the other possibility.
I cannot believe it because there are 45,000,000 of people living in UK, 55,000,000 of people living in France and much more than 100,000,000 of people living in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English
spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in
plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
At first the english government has to induct the european currency (EURO). If they haven't done yet then IMHO they're not allowed to make choices to any languages...*grrr*...

The rest of the text is really joking, isn't it?
