I guess the main thing should be, there should be a lot more transparency with this whole thing. We should know who is behind it and vote them out.

This whole Commission Grouping thing is smoke and mirrors, there are representatives of our governments facilitating this, we should know who they are, they should not be able to just stay anonymous. It should all be public when a vote is taken.

It's ripe for abuse such as corruption, they've been forced them to open up a bit but it's clearly not enough.

Usually it's the representatives themselves that propose laws (the ones we directly vote for). The commission could be viewed as a sort of potential trojan horse, in that it can make these proposals and yet it's inner workings are not fully transparent. With it's usual "government" work secrecy can be a good thing (trade negotiations etc.), when it comes to it drafting laws that should be transparent. Perhaps they should even look at splitting these things out but that also has a host of issues.

I disagree that trade negotiations should be done in secrecy - that's one of the most abused backdoor for antidemocratic laws.
