Proposals are all too frequently written by unelected bureaucrats in any democracy. I don't like it much but at least elected officials do get the final say before it becomes enshrined into law. This is as true for the EU as it is for the UK and American law makings too. Not that I see that as a huge benefit because elected bureaucrats are often even less aware of the subject their making policy on than their unelected peers. Plus while I'm obviously not going to defend the EU's copyright reform proposal (hopefully it will be rejected in July) the other governments I've listed haven't got a much better track record for copyright reform themselves.
