Er, please don't post ironic satire of that nature - many people will believe it! ISO is NOT European. It is the Internatational Standards Organisation, of which ANSI is a member. And, for reasons and with consequences that are only peripherally relevant, SC22WG14 has always been dominated by ANSI. In fact, C89 was standardised by ANSI (sic), acting as an agent for ISO. C99 was standardised by ISO directly, but for various reasons only some of which I know, was even more ANSI-dominated than C89. Note that I am NOT saying "big bad ANSI", as a large proportion of that was and is the ghastly support provided by many countries to their national standards bodies. The UK not excepted.
