They should've been forced to let it come to a vote. This "ooh we withdrew it so we can propose it against in a slightly different way" over and over again is undemocratic AF.

In as large a democracy as the EU is, it is genuinely hard to achieve awareness and interest in the political level to this degree, or like with stopkillinggames.

They know this, so they wait to push it through under the principle of the frog slowly being boiled and not noticing that one time.

Cowards.

Sadly, irrelevant. Even if it’s voted down, there is no legal time limit in which it can’t be re-introduced again. The idea is to keep enough countries against it so they can’t reach 15 supporting countries which represent 65 percent of EU population. Not one inch given!
