GA airport in Paris

There is a proposed rule in ICAO that demands all licensed pilots to be able
to communicate in English up to level 4.

This is supposed to mean that you must be able to conduct a normal
conversation on everyday topics.

I believe this is to be issued any license apart from any local National
PPL.

AOPA have tried to work against this, but as far as I know have not
succeded, so this will come sooner or later.
However, I have heard that the new new regianal European license may be
excempt from this rule, however this is not yet been decided.

Looks like new times for us hobby fliers....no prob for me, as we here in
Norway have very early English education in School, and people generally
speak English well, but I think this will make a big difference in other
countries without the tradition of learning English as a second language.

Not near as well as the Dutch.
