===Political Europe is at stake.===

The European Parliament is the representation of the European People. It decided by 88% that only a judge can impose restrictions on fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens. Many stated that this recalls as a basic principle of European law (eg. [[Story_of_Anti-3-Strikes_Amendments#25.2F09.2F2008:_MEP_Catherine_Trautmann.2C_Interview|MEP Catherine Trautmann]], [[Story_of_Anti-3-Strikes_Amendments#06.2F10.2F2008:_European_Commission.2C_Midday_Press_Conference|Commissioner Viviane Reding]]).
Political Europe can only be achieved if the will of the People is respected. The executive body (the Council of EU) cannot just “remove” a decision taken by 88% of the Parliament and approved by the Commission.
Putting light on the European lawmaking process is useful. The decisions of the Council of EU are often opaque and the Council representatives may negotiate their votes. It's important for people to know and understand what their country stands for in this debate. 
Attracting citizens and press attention on the process can help achieving this goal of better transparency for the European institutions.
