Proposing either of those two as a lingua franca (irony aside), would be a sure fire way to start an enormous argument in the EU.

Surprisingly with the UK out of the EU; English is perhaps best placed to fill this role, as it is now a "neutral" language, with only the Irish and Maltese contingents who, broadly speaking, don't wield the same influence as France and Germany.

Legally it could be done, but not practically since English is the language we actually use to communicate.

Greek is the most iconic european language.
