This is the thing right? When an EU body makes a bad decision or passes a bad law you get all these frankly disingenuous screaming about how terrible the EU is. Whereas no-onw ever takes bad legislation or laws passed by individual nations as a reason that, say, the USA or UK are terrible. If your argument is that the recriminations of bad EU decisions are too widespread - well that is the point of having a supranational organisation.
In an individual nation, it is easier to pressure politicians and achieve political change to withdraw bad laws. EU bodies tend to come up with these ridiculous things partly because they're so detached from the usual democratic checks and their officials live in a bubble. The democratic deficit really plays a role here.
