EU Parliament voted nearly unanimously for a new draft of “Common rules promoting the repair of goods,” featuring strong changes championed by advocates.
because most news outlets just call it “The EU” or “the EU parliament” without specifying that tje EU has many institutions and political parties, which push their own agendas.
if you replaced every instance of both “republicans” and “democrats” with “the US government” you would get the same kind of impression.
