It's no longer just a french court.
Now it is the official EU position:

The European Union in May decided people could request that their names be excluded from search results in Europe, if the results were deemed outdated or irrelevant. So far, more than 170,000 requests have been made, asking to remove all manner of webpages, including news articles, from Google's search results.

Google, the largest search engine in Europe, applied the ruling only to local versions of the site -- like google.fr in France or google.de in Germany -- but not Google.com. The EU wants to change that.

The body representing the EU's 28 national privacy regulators said in a press conference Wednesday the ruling should be applied to all Internet domains, according to news reports.

"All the extensions are included, including the .com," said Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin, head of France's privacy watchdog and the Article 29 Working Party, according to Bloomberg.
