The only English speaking country in the EU is Ireland. Many people in France, Italy or Spain do not speak English, at least not beyond elementary school level. It's even worse in countries such as Greece, Romania or Poland. It's hard to do business that way. So we use a lot of Google translate, but contracts are always in the native language.

Minor nitpick, but over 90% of the Dutch population can read/write/speak English. It's compulsory education.

And also basic levels of German and French. Outside of tech I actually hear from multiple sources German is an important language for trade between medium-sided companies, to Germany of course but also a large portion of the other eastern EU members.

Malta also has English as an official language.
