Shouldn't the first version be in French then?



Well, depends on the politicians who drafted it. Brussels is necessarily a very diverse place. The three official working languages of the commission are English, French and German. I hear German is not that popular, though, so it's mostly French and English. I would guess the politicians lean towards English and the bureaucracy towards French, if nothing else then simply because Brussels is mostly a French-speaking city.
