Literally so, because the European """Parliament""" is the only institution with this name that I'm aware of that does not have the power to introduce laws. Which means it doesn't have the power to repeal them.

In other words, the Commission can propose laws as many times as they want, and if they pass even once, the Parliament has no power to repeal it.

Parliament can rewrite the wording of the law in the committees any way they want, including by making them state the opposite.

The tricky part is getting commission and the council also sign off on that.
