However it has to vote and agree on all EU regulations and changes the proposed initiatives quite a lot. However EU parliament politics are ... complicated between party family and national interests. A big problem is that its negotiations happen outside the spotlight. News focus on national parliaments and national governments and following EU debate is painfulnkt only, but also due to the multilinguality.
