What the petition asks
The EU doesn't recognise the Welsh language as an official language, even though Wales is part of the European Union, please sign this petition to put Wales 'officially' on the map
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This is a decision for the EU, not the UK Government or Parliament.
