Often people may think that they speak English, but in fact they do not
speak it good enough. English seems to be an easy language, but it is as
difficult as it gets. Its real complexity is in numerous idiomatic
expressions.
I would say a person speak English if she/he sat and passed the exam for
the C1 or C2 level certificate. For example, CAE or CPE. It would be
interesting to know the statistics of how many people in the continental
Europe have got the C1 or C2 levels.
