Comes in a text on environment.

"Hierbei ist erstens die weitere Förderung von spezialisierten Infrastrukturfonds auf Unionsstaatsebene vorgesehen (names of two states /Bundesstaaten given in bracket)."

Does it mean at the state level or does it mean at the union level/at the centre? If it means the latter then why are the names of two states mentioned in the bracket? Could someone please explain....

at the level of the union state
Explanation:
Die Begriffe Unionsstaaten (Union state), Bundesstaaten und Bundesländer werden häufig synonym verwandt.

The label 'union state' was coined by Rokkan and Urwin (1982: 11): The union state [is] not the result of straightforward dynastic conquest. Incorporation of at least parts of its territory has been achieved through personal dynastic union, for example by treaty, marriage or inheritance. Integration is less than perfect. While administrative standardization prevails over most of the territory, the consequences of personal union entail the survival in some areas of pre-union rights and institutional infrastructures which preserve some degree of regional autonomy.
