I am sorry but I am not good with legaleese. From what I got - they are considering change of words and delayed decision making - political equivalent of doing nothing and trying to record the response, hoping people somehow reach a consensus on their own. Or did I get it wrong. Right now it is neither a uplifting or non uplifting news (not saying as a mod but a reader of news).
The uplifting news is that even someone in the European commission (unexpectedly) prefers the less privacy-invasive version the parliament wants, not the one the council wants.
What I got is the EU is made up of 2 legislative chambers
- council of EU: heads of member states
- parliament: directly elected
and an executive European Commission consisting of a commissioner for each state & who are nominated by the council of the EU. The executive proposes/drafts laws for the legislative chambers to approve/reject/amend or request new drafts.
The commission (dickheads who aren’t directly elected) drafted the proposal. The council (head of state dickheads) adopted the draft without the support of key members. Parliament (the directly elected) has strongly organized for a less Orwellian alternative that opposes the draft. A commissioner voiced their support for parliament’s alternative & offered to extend time for negotiations.
