Phew... didn't expect that though

I did. The European Parliament has its faults, but they usually make sensible decisions in the interest of the EU citizens.

Right. It's often the European commission that comes up with insane ideas which are then reported as "it will probably happen", before the parliament votes it down.

För now. Elections are next year and I've read that it could result in a massive shift to the right. I fully expect more lobbyism from companies to be more succesful... We'll see I guess.
