This - admittedly - is largely geared at blocking further legislation on this subject and allow the specifics to be determined by individual member nations. There are enough "active" clauses in this proposal's text to make it a legal blocker. As we've already had two passed resolutions that needed to be repealed due to shortcomings in the text, I think this is the best way to go, to prevent us from having to continuously having to revisit this subject.
