Re: Scotland/Wales want increased powers locally

They still need to persuade at least two other member states to go with them:

"The standard voting system in the Council of Ministers will be QMV. It will be based on the double majority principle. Decisions in the Council of Ministers require the support of 55% of member states (currently 16 out of 28 EU countries) representing a minimum of 65% of the EU's population. To make it impossible for a very small number of the most populous member states to prevent a decision from being adopted, a blocking minority must comprise at least four member states. Otherwise, the QM will be deemed to have been reached even if the population criterion is not met."
