No, it isn't. After "long talks" (maybe there is even money involved, who knows) with the parliament the things that the Council and / or Commission want get implemented. Maybe the parliament is allowed to keep some wording form it's proposals as long as it stays mostly symbolic form the practical point of view. The EU is a "democracy simulation" as we call it. Neither the Council nor the Commission are elected by the EU people but the laws are made by those institutions in practice.
