Also, the Council is made up of representatives of the elected governments of each member nation. They, along with the EUP (which is directly elected), elect the Commission. This makes the Commission an elected body indirectly by the people of the EU. Even though they propose legislation, Parliament must still vote on the legislation to pass it.
Claims the EU is undemocratic are false.
The Germans are one of 28 member nations. They have one vote out of 28 in the Council and the Commission. There are 751 seats in the EUP, of which Germany has 96, or 12.8%.
How are they taking away everyone's sovereignty?
EUMP's can not put forth any legislation for a vote. The commission has no one to answer to and is not directly elected by the people.
There is no debate of in the European Parliment on any legislation by those directly elected by the people. .
If you do not believe the Germans are controlling the EU then please post any legislation that has been hurtful to German Interests and helpful to other members of the EU. We can certainly find plenty that harm other members and not the Germans.
