It doesn't matter where you were born or live... fairly sure that everyone needs to have an English language proficiency endorsed on their licence. Minimum is Level 4. FCL-055 is what you're looking for in terms of legislation.
FCL.055 Language proficiency
(a) General. Aeroplane, helicopter, powered-lift and airship pilots required to use the radio telephone shall not exercise the privileges of their licences and ratings unless they have a language proficiency endorsement on their licence in either English or the language used for radio communications involved in the flight. The endorsement shall indicate the language, the proficiency level and the validity date
As a "native speaker", about the only benefit you get is that you're likely to end up level 6 and never have to do it ever again.
