> In fact all EU legislation is being approved by your national government in the EU Council

it's via QMV, not unanimity

so no need for "your" national government to approve it

Considering that almost all governments voted "yes" and only Austria voted "no" as they considered it to weak I think it is fair to say their government supported it.

In general you have somewhat of a point, but then it is democracy that the government would be responsible to argue for their point and convince others.

"EU did it" is a cheap excuse.
