Yes, but the two groups of politicians both arranged for their
posteriors to be protected. The Commission drafts Directives but the
Council of Ministers approves them, so shares the responsibility for any
that prove unworkable. And the third group, the Parliament, amends
drafts, so it, too, shares any blame.

Is it surprising that some people think the whole thing is a nonsense?
