> Do EU voters actually have a say in this kind of regulation?

EU voters don't have any saying in any EU level regulation. The EU regime do basically what they want.

While the democratic process in the EU deserves its criticism, this is plain wrong. EU citizens can vote for the EU parliament.
And EU Parliament can't propose a new law. Or propose to change a law. How super democratic.
Yup, but laws have to be approved by the EU parliament and that's not just a formality. As I said, I do think it is valid to critizise that system, but what you stated is plain wrong and even when I pointed it out you wouldn't admit it.
