I request to the moderators not to merge this post with the previous one, by its lenght to make things clear. These are obviously not shitposts and I do not do it to get paid more because this week I exceed my posting requirements.

After reading the long draft, I was thinking that I didn't remember reading in the draft what franky1 had posted. I took him off ignore, looked up what he had posted, without citing the source, and I see that it is not in this draft.

After investigating, I see that he is quoting a previous draft that was not approved.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A52020PC0593

The draft he cites is this one, which is not the one that was voted on last Thursday, nor the one I am referring to or referred to in the articles cited in the OP.

There is a thread on the forum about this previous draft.
