Re: Fingers crossed
Ummm. I hate to be the professor of the bleedin’ obvious, but this is how EU legislation has always worked.
EU Parliament gets to vote on a boilerplate mission statement thing. But the detailed text of what goes onto the EU statute books is all worked out in committee *after the vote*, without coming back before Parliament. Tripartite committee: Commission, Presidency, and EU Parliament representative (called the rapporteur).
And two out of three wins, so Parliament can be, and often is, outvoted if the Presidency and Commission disagree with them. This is perfectly on-topic, because GDPR legislation contains loads of issues where the Parliament representative was simply over-ruled.
Parliament doesn’t have primacy under EU constitution, unlike UK it’s just a totally different tripod system.
