How can you say EU isn't planning anything like that when the last meeting to introduce just that was a few weeks ago?

Nobody backed off, it's still on the agenda. You are right however that the main lobby comes from US NGOs as exposed by documents coming from EU Commission.

I can say that because that PROPOSAL at the European PARLIAMENT was brought by a number of MPs. Its not an official Eu thing, it is not pushed by any official Eu organ. Any MP can bring ANY proposal to Euparl. It does not mean that Eu is 'pushing something'.

Its not on 'the agenda'. The MPs who pushed it backed off after their links to the American 'NGOs' were exposed. They said that they would bring it up again at a later time. That doesn't mean that its on 'the agenda'. Any MP in the Euparl can bring any proposal at any time. That does not mean that Euparl is doing it and there is notable support behind it.
