EU trolling

One of the features of the EU treaty being signed today is that it gives the Charter of fundamental rights of the EU legal force. I noticed this in Article 41:

4. Every person may write to the institutions of the Union in one of the languages of the Treaties and must have an answer in the same language.

Some things to consider:

• Institutions of the European Union are obliged to respond to questions in any of the languages of the EU with replies in the same language.
  
• The EU parliament is an "Institution of the European Union".
  
• Therefore, MEPs are members of an "institution of the EU".
  
• Does this mean that I can write to random MEPs (Robery Kilroy-Silk, for example) in random EU languages (Hungarian, for example), and they are obliged to reply to me in the same language?
  

I see great potential here for foreign language-based trolling.
