Yeah but their phone bills are paid for by the govt?

It's still not clear how much power the MEP wields? Do ambitious politicians run for the MEP or for the national parliament?

Does the MEP pass binding laws or is it more advisory? OTOH, they passed this law last year and now the national govts. pretty much vetoed it?

Seems like the national govts. could have given the MEP a clue that these fanciful ideas were never going to be implemented and they wouldn't have wasted the time. Instead, months afterwards, they come back and say, "no, we can't go with this, maybe we'll do it in 2018 (which you really shouldn't pin your hopes on either)."
