When I was digging out the figures it showed that most Europeans spoke English amongst themselves when they don't speak each others native language e.g. Belgium for political reasons.

They are telling you you are second class citizen now in the EU. We will look down upon you when you visit. :P We will build the fartherland - Germany.

"less important" in what context?.

English goes from being the second biggest native language in the EU to about the 15th.

It's a statement of fact not opinion. In related shock news the geographical centre of the EU will move further away from the UK.

This guy should be ashamed of himself.

English is the international language with or without the UK. This guy is giving too much importance to the UK or just want to provoke or destabilise wich it's not a good step for a person in his position.

I miss Durão Barroso, at least he has common sense.

That was definitely the case when I worked in Switzerland. Germans refused to speak French, the French refused to speak German and no-one was prepared to learn Dutch.
