EU Page
Copied from Michael Zimmerman's discussion page:


 * Hi, sorry to intrude, but I might be able to cast some light on this (if not, just ignore me!). As I understand it, the Latin version was accepted by the President of the European Parliament in 2000 (see the article on EU symbols). As Michael has said, Latin was chosen because the EU is multi-lingual, and Latin is Europe's historic common language. Since then, another motto has been written into the proposed constitution, in each of the national languages. It's this version that's appeared on the commission's website. If the constitution is eventually ratified, then it will become the 'official' motto. Until then, the Latin motto is the only such. Countersubject 11:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Council of the European Union
Hi Luca Italy, I've seen your repeated deletions of the German name in article Council of the European Union. Well, I'm really convinced that German is one of the three stated working languages of the Council, so I'm committed to undo your deletions if you can't prove your point with a creditable source. Your last cited statement ""the working languages most frequently used at the General Secretariat of the Council are English and French" is ridiculous as it's first only giving information about the secretariat instead of the Council itself, and second it's not even excluding the existence of other working languages besides English and French. - Sorry, no offense meant, but why are you so keen to delete the German translation after all? - Cheers, MikeZ 13:50, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As for that, it is not excluding Finnish either.... Why then not mention also Finnish as the 4th working language of the Council? :-)
 * Well, because there are only three ... EN, FR and GE :-)) - Well, are you Italian by the way? I'm currently working in Milano and try hard to catch up some Italian. Cheers, MikeZ 17:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm Italian. Luca Italy
