Thank you for this clarification. This topic has been previously discussed on HN and sadly the top comments seem to always result in poorly informed pitchfork parties against the EU and its institutions. I would urge people to read the linked texts in your comment. I think they will see that it is entirely possible to follow the (imperfect) thought process of the EU Commission from these primary sources, since they are quite readable.
