My personal opinion is that it might not only be a step to get new staff in Europe.

After more and more complaints about spam in Europe (one German search portal even decided to move away from Google and gave as one of the reasons that there was too much spam in German Google results) they might target other European languages better.

In Switzerland most people speak German, English and French which happen to be the most important languages for Europe. Many even speak a fourth language. So it might get tougher for people that don't follow the rules in Europe.
