AB The  European  Union  (EU)  spends  more  than  one  bil- lion  euros  per  year  ensuring  translation  and  interpretation  of  24  languages  to  preserve  multilingualism.  We  examine  how  this  budget  should  be  fairly  allocated,  taking  into  account  linguistic  and  economic  realities  of each member country. Our analysis tries to estimate  the  value  of  keeping  English  as  a  procedural  language  (in fact, almost a lingua franca) in the post- Brexit EU,  where,  today,  just  about  one  percent  of  the  population  speaks it as native language.
