I personally believe the more layers that get added ABOVE the highest elected office (in terms of who sets the rules to follow) that are unelected, the less democratic it is. Usually appointees and such have LESS power than the elected positions. (Sometimes not, with good reasons, eg. supreme court in the US) Obviously, there are good reasons to have unelected officials for some things. I believe the EU shouldn't be one of them.
