I think there are several small mistakes here.

Germany changed its own position after the 12th of September, the meeting on the 14th of October is still the commission, in particular the meetings of the interior ministers that need to decide whether to push the proposal forward to parliament, which then would have to discuss it, amend it, vote on it.

@skarn @ashughes The meeting on the 14th is the Council, not the Commission.

The proposal has already been through parliament, who have removed the mass-surveillance element.

If the council votes to approve its position on the 14th, then negotations between council and parliament will begin, notably over this element.

In the EU, Council and Parliament deliberate similtaniously, then negotations between the two begin.

Thank you for clarifying my misunderstandings. I’m not an EU citizen so I’m not well experienced on how the EU works. What I wrote was based on my understanding as an outsider reading various sources. I appreciate you taking the time to correct what I didn’t get quite right.

At any rate, looks like Germany flipped back to opposed yesterday. Keep up the pressure everyone, it’s working.
