Yes, just as it always does, and it very very rarely goes anywhere, and never involves the council. Isn't the last time the council acted like this the Treaty of Lisbon/EU constitution?

I mean, only if you want to make an incredibly, extremely generous interpretation of what's happening, but sure, what you're saying is a nanometer within what is theoretically possible. Incredibly, incredibly unlikely but possible. It doesn't explain why the commission acts at all in this case, when they almost never act after rejection, and it doesn't explain at all why the most powerful EU institution is suddenly involved. You would need to explain why this justifies the same amount of attention that the Treaty of Lisbon got (you know, when French and the Netherlands' voters rejected what could be interpreted as the existence of the EU, that's certainly how a bunch of political parties saw it)

But is it possible? Yes. Procedures allow this. Sure.
