If so is this democratic plus isn’t it possible big business may have infiltrated the decision makers on what laws they imposes on the peoples of Europe.

The E.U. is a dictatorship of Bankers.
Just look at what is happening in Greece!

No it is not true. The European Commission (appointed by the elected national governments) each run a specific area that looks at specific issues relating to the operation of the European Union and the single market. Where they identify what they think are problems in the smooth operation of the single market they suggest ways to address this which lead in turn to the development of EU directives and regulations. Neither of these can become EU law until such time as they have a)been reviewed by the Council of Ministers (made up the relevant elected member of each member state's government) and the European Parliament (made up of directly elected representatives from each member state).
All proposed areas for discussion are published on the EU website and the people of Europe have opportunities to provide input in to the discussions. This is the way most national governments determine national laws.
@ Eleven, the EU did not sack the Greek Govt and replace it with a Banker. The Greek Parliament identified a technocrat to identify and put before Parliament certain policies to address their national debt problem. The Greek Government and the Italian Government can still veto any proposal put forward by the technocrat team. Therefore democracy is still operating in both those countries.
