At a time when The EU is seeking to cut FOSS funding to funds like @NGIZero
Perhaps we need to ask the EU to fund smaller, more communal projects, rather than seeking to create Unicorns.
"The report highlighted how 30% of EU startup businesses that had grown to be valued at more than €1bn – known as unicorns – had moved abroad, and mostly to list on stock markets in the US."

@onepict @NGIZero Literally what I told them to their faces at the parliament (for all the good it did):

@InsertUser @onepict @NGIZero It can amend it (and the council can choose to reject the amendments) as well as approve or reject it over several readings/back-and-forths.
What it cannot do is – and what essentially renders it somewhat of a toy parliament compared to other parliaments – is to propose new legislation.

Can the EU parliament even amend the legislation it's considering?
I was under the impression that it can only approve or reject whatever the Commission hands it.
If the Commission are the only ones that get a say in the wording they are the ones that need to be convinced.
