Here's the procedure, and we're at the first reading (page a bit out of date), parliament saying "yep, the draft the commission gave us looks good".
It's already been through a gazillion committees and the council isn't likely to oppose it as it's not a parliament vs. council issue. Any objections the members states have have already been rolled up into the text e.g. looser rules for military use. Member states don't mind if companies need to play by tight rules, there were never disagreements about that.
And if it opposes, well, that's what the other readings are for. But the thing has been in the pipeline for two years, as said, people already negotiated it. Also: The council will vote by qualified majority, there's no veto.
Thank you for all these informations, and for the links.
I'm not a lawer, but the laws seems to have several exceptions which could be used by an authoritarian government. They just have to call their opponents violent or terrorists
