A quote from Jean-Claude Juncker who headed the EU Commission in the past:
> We decide on something, leave it lying around, and wait and see what happens. If no one kicks up a fuss, because most people don't understand what has been decided, we continue step by step until there is no turning back.
Good thing they can't make laws, only make proposals to the lawmakers asking them to make laws. And the fact they're scared to let anyone know who wrote the proposal says a lot.
