Why a fairer and simpler decision procedure for EU legislation is necessary:

To have a truly representative EU, the Members States of the EU (represented in the Council) and the directly elected representatives of the people in the European Parliament must have an equal say in the process of EU decision making. So we propose a simplified system according to which decisions on all EU legislation will be made through an enhanced co-decision procedure, with EU laws adopted by the Council voting by qualified majority and the European Parliament voting by simple majority.
