No, not really. It's because they retracted the proposal before going to vote, because they knew it wouldnt pass after Germany publicly said they would vote against.
Then they changed some stuff and send it again, which is now rejected as it seems.
Now they need to wait, but they didnt before.
So this war is far from an end huh?
We have to win every time. They only need to win once.
They won't stop pushing until they get it
April 3, already planned
Who are they?
The Commission probably since they're the only entity who can propose law

Oh, sorry. Thought you actually didn't knew, my bad!
