But they all must learn Italian to do that, the Italians will not learn German or Romanian for them. Such problem didn't exist before ww1. Even nobility learned the language of their foreign peasants. And then we didn't even count yet the new nationalistic hatred that is tied to administrative languages and generated by nation states.This would be nice, but state administrations use their national languages as weapons against people who want to move there from another state. Only the EU Lisbon treaty was able to address this problem, and even that has failed so far.The EU, with the departure of England and Wales, will integrate further and become what was it was supposed to be, an analog of the U.S. with EU states having independent motor vehicle licensing and registration, local taxes, local welfare and unemployment compensation systems and local health care systems. People will be able to freely travel within the EU and take up residence anywhere in the EU as long as the person has EU citizenship.
Not at all, wealthy retired Germans with homes on Elba and Romanian workers doing work Italians no longer want to do (both EU citizens) do just fine in Italy.
