Politicians must mind their Brexit language | Letters

Jean-Claude Juncker spoke in French, rather than English, at the EU’s state of the union meeting in Italy.Like Jean-Claude Juncker I have recently been attending a conference in Italy, so I can directly rebut his claim that “English is losing its importance in Europe” (Report, 6 May).The representative from the European commission herself reported (in English) that every EU country now teaches English as a foreign language in schools.
