The GDPR was passed by the European Comission, not the EP. Members of the EC are appointed, just like ministers in governments. But governments can only pass time limited decrees which then have to be signed into laws and voted for in Parliament. The EC which can pass binding regulations that apply indefinitely.
- synotna 8y agoI think you mean "proposed" instead of "passed" - "passed" is usually used to mean "passed a law" The commission proposes legislation, the council & parliament pass it
