It doesn't really matter what was on their mind, even though I also disagree on what is on their mind. It matters that the discussion has been broken open, and that it will be on the agenda of the commission and after that the parliament. If it is on the agenda, it is time for a little lobby and try to push *our* points, and let not the discussion be focused on potential 70->90 issues. So there are two reasons even to be involved. To push positive points, and to prevent negative changes.
