I would be very surprised if their weren't atleast a few corrupt beurocrats in the European Commission trying to foce this act through.

The way this bill is so unpopular to everyone but big business yet is trying to be forced through as a 'totally uncontroversial' bill just makes the existance of corruption within the European Commission undeniable.
