Can the EU parliament even amend the legislation it's considering?
I was under the impression that it can only approve or reject whatever the Commission hands it.
If the Commission are the only ones that get a say in the wording they are the ones that need to be convinced.
@InsertUser @onepict @NGIZero It can amend it (and the council can choose to reject the amendments) as well as approve or reject it over several readings/back-and-forths.
What it cannot do – and what essentially renders it somewhat of a toy parliament compared to other parliaments – is to propose new legislation.
