There’s no such thing as ‘must be’. There’s only as much as the member states will put up with. If the cost exceeds the value, it will get changed, along with any rules that supposedly prevent it. The only thing the rules do is set a higher cost.
I’m betting a mechanism could be created. It hasn’t happened because Germany and France don’t want it to, yet. That could change.
Any EU decision must be unanimous, though.
That’s just not true.
