The Civil Services do not propose or enact laws. An EU member state is a representative democracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_democracy The EU is not. The non-democratic nature goes beyond legislation and affects the economy and poverty and austerity and taxes of members of the Eurozone who have given up their economic and thus political and thus democratic and cultural sovereignty. Granted, the decision to remain in the Eurozone is a national democratic decision. The situation of Greece shows that interests of private companies and states like Germany have priority over the poor members of the Eurozone and EU and IMO over good ethics and the common good.
