[pp.int.general] State of the european website

[Juxi Leitner | Piratenpartei Österreich]

I think we just wanted it to be a starting point for ppl in the EU to

...) at the local sites (so a more common design would be good), the
main point is to show that we are a european movement and that we  are
already in lots of the EU countries...
