@brembs Ireland, joined the EEC in 1973, still in the EU, official language English, joint with Irish in their constitution. Malta, second language Maltese, English officiial. English widely spoken in Cyprus but not offiical.

"Demnach genießt das CERN die bei internationalen Organisationen üblichen Immunitäten und Vorrechte, soweit sie zur Erfüllung ihrer Aufgaben notwendig sind. Auch die natürlichen Personen, die das CERN nach außen hin vertreten, genießen in der Schweiz Immunität."
