The Parliament has veto rights. Nothing gets enacted without parliamentary approval. Which is very good, considering some of the bullshit that comes out of the Commission.

Legislative veto without legislative initiative is barely useful.

True, but note that the national governments (i.e. the Council) also have a veto.

But I do agree that Parliament should be given law making powers, and the Commission should just be enforcement and implementation of said laws.

Can they remove or update bad legislation that is currently in place?
