But we elect apart of the EU, it's parliament (the commission and the council aren't directly elected). While, corporations are unelected in anyway. But in both cases, this is a big issue with sovereignity in particular. Anyway, but of course corporations would challenge regulations, it costs them money!

But with this law, it seems corporations would not only challenge a law but use their power to try to abolish it if they can, as removing regulations is in their interests.

Well, the whole point of challenging a law is to have it abolished, so... those would seem to be the same things.

Can you please be very explicit, because I'm still not sure I understand. Can corporations not challenge a law right now? Can an individual challenge a law right now? Are we talking about challenging a single nation's law in an EU court? If so, why would it be less democratic for an unelected corporation to invalidate a nation's law than for another, equally unelected (by that country, at least) foreign government to have that nation's law invalidated?
