Hi there. I'm looking for the percentage of English speakers for all
European Union Countries (including the new accession
countries..Poland, Czech Republic etc.) Thanks Dan

Dear surferxxx-ga,
The data is provided by the European Commission - Languages in Europe web page.

Graph showing % speaking English as a foreign language - approx.
halfway down the page.
http://europa.eu.int/comm/education/policies/lang/languages/lang/europeanlanguages_en.html#Multilingual

This is a full list of all European Countries - see the original page
for a guide to the abbreviations (Turkey was included in this
Eurobarometer survey because its applicant status was being discussed
at that time (2002)).

Malta 84
DK 79
SE 76
NL 75
Cyprus 67
AT 55
FIN 50
LUX 46
Slovenia 46
D 44
BE 37
GR 36

Went to the EU web site

Answer is a good one. Although I scoured the EU website and managed to
miss this!! I wanted to show (for a business related reason) that
there were a similar per capita number of English speakers in Czech
Republic to Poland and Romania and this shows it to be ahead of both
so is great for my purposes....even though I suspect it isn't actually
true!

"UK 3"!!!!

Professor Higgens has been proven correct!  The English don't speak English!

[Lest I be rudely corrected, I am aware that this is the "percentage
of people speaking English AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE".]  But it certainly
looks wierd on a chart like this.
