EU countries will vote on the proposal on October 13th during the Justice and Home Affairs Council meeting.

You may argue that the Danes voted for the government that is now in favor in the surveillance, but the issue of surveillance weren't even on the agenda in the last election, so this has taken most people by surprise.
- Eddy_Viscosity2 1y agoIs there any way to remove elected EU representatives from office? When are the next EU elections? Is anyone using this as a campaigning issue, like "Don't vote these crooks in again, vote for me and I will end this chat control nonsense!"
