=JU_88 The Eu is indeed run by bureaucrats - who are not voted in by the people of the blocs member states in any shape or form. Policy and legislation is determined by a few - in back rooms, The MEPs (we vote for) can vote yes or no when its presented to them, but they can't suggest revisions or changes. And if they vote no, revisions are made in back room and the legislation is presented back to them again.... and again until they vote 'Yes' and it can be passed.
