You should be able to speak to the EU institutions with whatever language you want. Not everybody speaks English. Also, I don't know how many times you actually did business in an international context, and especially consumer facing stuff: you need to master the local language and good localization are often the key to success. For example, the Spotify team did a great job customizing their product in different contexts, creating playlist that are clearly made by natives with the help and the insight of their data. So it is absolutely not true that international business just happens in English: it might at a high level, but you need translations and cultural awareness to make it work.
