1) Is the business group Greek?
2) Does the group do business mainly in Greece?
3) Is the group's primary market Greece or Greek people?
4) Is he specifically doing business, say, with Olympic organizers and
needs to have documentation, etc. in Greek?
Basically, what's the whole story? Is there a reasonable expectation
for the group's business to be conducted in at least a bilingual
manner? For instance, at my office here, we have employees from India,
Romaina, Russia, China, all over the place and everyone speaks and
communicates amongst each other in English.
However, if I were working for, say, the Bulgarian Consulate or a
Japanese company, I'd expect (especially if I were a native speaker of
either of those languages) a reasonable amount of bilingual-ness.
