Not sure what "that" actually refers to.

The common official language of the European Union is ALL official languages of the member-states. Every major publication of the EU is ALREADY made in all languages of its members.

Why? There is a LOCAL government which is in charge of representing the citizens locally and also representing the country in the European union.

If they can't explain to me what they are doing, they are not qualified to represent me.
