LE FRANÇAIS AU CONSEIL DE L’EUROPE

à : vincenza.quattrone@coe.int

Je viens de prendre connaissance d’une offre d’emploi au sein du Centre
européen de la Jeunesse à Strasbourg. L’offre étant paru sur une liste de
diffusion anglophone, il est normal qu’elle paraisse en anglais. L’annonce
indique bien que le candidat devra maîtriser les deux langues officielles du
Conseil de l’Europe: le français et l’anglais. Jusque là, tout va bien. Mais
pourquoi, dès lors, le CV et la lettre de motivation des candidats doivent-ils
vous être envoyés en anglais et non, au choix du candidat, en français?

Y aurait-il une langue un peu plus officielle que les autres au Conseil de
l’Europe?

Merci de me rassurer.
Bien cordialement
