Wording for the new Committee Rule will be published soon (I'm hoping within the next week or so, tops... )

Frankly, it seems like it would do the opposite in many cases. A majority of citizens of a member state may vote for non-compliance, but a minority can still force compliance using the mechanism in this proposal. That's not democratic.
