Pfffew... What a relief. The most significant question that remains, is why the Council once again had the nerve to ignore what the Parliament had already decided over. It seems that all is not well in Europe's democratic system, and that organs with fewer people (and more power?) are more easy to corrupt and influence than a large group of saner people who actually defend the majority of the people they represent.

There needs to be a better system in place to protect and shield the key figures of the EU from sleazy lobby work by big corporations, or at least it should be made clear to the public who roams the halls of power with fistfuls of money, and who are more interested in listening to that money instead of fulfilling their public duties.
