MEPs can only vote for/against legislation and if you've seen the videos posted on Youtube by an MEP two or three months back, it's a pretty rushed and not what I'd call rigorous process.
We did not vote in the EU commisioners who are the only ones who can initiate legislation, nor can we vote to get rid of them.

And that is fine, because bad laws, in theory, can be stopped by those who we did vote for. The unfortunately scenario when both groups are mainly from the same interest groups, which very much looks like the case now; these two groups - commissioners vs MEPs - should always be opposition to eachother for this to work.
