I am not longer even intersted in "victories" by our negotiators.

IMHO, the text has not yet been transmitted to parliament, because the Commission having a look at the "legal aspects" (Read : they want to lobby parliament themselves because they fear it will be shot down).
You vote for your MEP's. The head of the EP Transport Committee is a fellow countryman coming from a background and region where you quickly learn to discern what is fair and what is not fair.
For his re-election, he depends on you. If your livelyhood is at stake, and it's caused by a few overpaid axe-grinders in Brussels or Cologne, well outside their operational scope and mandate, why wouldn't he listen ?
State your case, write to him that €110 Mio and then some can be better spent on de-regulation.
It is a shambolic mess that should be binned by the European Parliament.
Exactly ! And the more people write to their MEP's that it should, the more chance it will indeed happen...
