We’re saying the same thing. The Legal Affairs Committee isn’t the Parliament, it’s merely a committee. The EP only had two options here: either vote in favour of the article (“rubber-stamping”) or rejecting it. That’s what they did. The procedure in this case is to revise the proposal, which is exactly what’s happening here. This is working as intended. Of course the fact that the defeat was rather narrow is cause for concern, don’t get me wrong.
