There is no EU (or ICAO requirement) that cabin crew members must speak English. It is a general practice that cabin crew members do speak English to facilitate the communication in the aviation industry. The operator defines what languages its cabin crew members must be able to speak and at what level.
Well, yes, clearly it would be nonsensical to have an English language requirement in some parts of the world. None of which has any bearing on my earlier response to your suggestion that it did not matter if you were unable to comprehend the crew's instructions because you know how to open a door.
