Did you read the conversation? The real move is in France.
If you are concerned about France, why did your comment only reference "the Netherlands"?
If you wanted to give an example of a country where about one-third of people speak English, you could have used Italy or maybe Poland ("However, other surveys show that over 50% of Poles can speak English. Another study shows that 89% of Polish students are learning and/or can speak English.").
Because it's a conversation... That's how conversations work, you don't repeat every piece of context in every sentence.
Sorry that went over your head.
