Jessica,
Eurostat has not published statistics on who speaks what languages. There
is data on the teaching of foreign languagues in Key Data on Education in
Europe 2002.
The EU main source for this has been public opinion studies. The most
current information is in special Eurobarometer 54 available on the web.

hello
I'd be grateful if anyone who has access to a collection of european
statistics could help with the following question.
I need to find the percentages of the population in France, Spain and
Holland who can speak English. So far, I've had no luck finding this from
searching the web.
many thanks
