MEPs have sharply criticized the plan. “Our fear is that the implementation of our laws and standards will be called into question by American companies,” criticizes Green MEP Sergey Lagodinsky, for example. “If this is confirmed, it would be nothing less than a capitulation to the pressure and intimidation tactics of the Trump administration.” The EU Commission repeatedly emphasizes that it does not want to change its regulations due to US pressure. However, some of the recently proposed changes in digital legislation, particularly to the AI Act and the General Data Protection Regulation, primarily benefit US companies that are already dominant in the market.



EU commission is where EU politicians are sent by their parties when they are too corrupt and/or unpopular in their own country. It‘s by design.
As far as I’m concerned, the Commission is nominated by the Council, and elected by the Parliament. Parliament can force resignation, if necessary, by a two-thirds majority vote.
If Europe is to remain European, we must be able to fend for ourselves, being fully independent from the US, yet making sure the US depends on us.
I do wonder why don’t they just send them home
and unfortunately they have a lotbof power
