I do wonder how the EC decides what to work on. Were EU citizens polled, and repairability of devices and appliances ranked as one of the top issues in their lives, for example? What's the process?
- schubidubiduba 3mo agoHow does any government make decisions? The workings of the EU are maybe a tad more complex than most nation governments, but it largely functions the same with parliament etc. (because why wouldn't it) Maybe a special case is the European Council with all the individual nations governments. That makes the system similar to Germany's federalism I suppose

- cbeach 3mo agoThe EU is completely different to a parliamentary democracy. Only the unelected European Commission is able to originate and repeal law. The elected “Parliament” is only able to vote Directives through. And if Parliament vote against a Directive, the Commission pushes repeatedly until they get the result they want. As former EU Commission President Jean Claude Juncker stated: “We decide on something, leave it lying around and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.” https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Juncker https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Jean-Claude_Juncker
