You do neet to be careful with this one. Many European countries accept members of the EU under the terms of that treaty. They also accept 'guest workers' and refugees who have no chance of earning citizenship. Many European countries are extremely strict about accepting immigrants on a citizenship path. There are Turks in Germany who were born in Germany, whose parents were born in Germany who are not eligible for citizenship.
That said, I am sure that you can find exceptions for every rule. Many European countries are very good about granting citizenship to spouses, including those I am sure who do not speak the language.
