Who's giving head to who here?

Basicly this sums up who's owning who. Not who's protecting who's interests at what level.

Since when can politicians get something done within a few days without calling all sorts of (illegal) favours?

The bill introduced basilcly states that only the commercially motivated have a majority vote as to what is allowed or not. How stupid can one get?

In short, the bill, if adopted, would put the self interested (US) commerciallly motivated in charge and and such should be rejected in whole by the EU. Which shouldn't be a problem . By standard anything that only has a self interest guided policy towards the USA standards should be rejected by the EU by default giving that normally the US has their own self interest in mind so why shouldn't the EU?
