sas's post that started this thread, and the article he cited, was obviously intended to imply that EU countries' votes had to be unanimous, no doubt hoping to convince and thus worry casual readers this was such a stringent condition it would be impossible to meet.

But, as the article I cited made clear, in fact nearly all the relevant decisions will require only majority voting.

Both articles are reporting on the same court case it's just the right wing media report has put their own spin on it, their alternative if you like.
