Correct. The European Commission does those things. It is, perhaps, best understood as the executive branch of the EU.
But there’s also the European Council, made up of the heads of each member state. The Council can take votes, and does, and then can impose things on ALL of the member states as law...it can also delegate certain things back to the European Commission, which can then also be imposed upon the member states uniformly, as law. So actually in certain cases, the European Commission can absolutely do things which have the force of law in member states.
The whole category of law called “regulations” in Eurospeak is the most pernicious, and the most objectionable. It is in this category of law making where the EU imposes its (often bureaucratic) laws on to the member states, and on to the people of Europe....including...how to sort their trash. It’s crazy.
It’s also very confusing, and words are not used with their traditional meanings (such as “European Parliament”).
I’ll tell you this, I been in Germany before the euro currency and not a single thing in my life has changed because of the EU. I even still buy plastic bags at the supermarket. If the EU is pressing laws they should tell someone about it. LoL!
