      So MEPs can propose amendments subject to approval from President/Commission/etc? Where does the power really lie?

      If the majority of the House is with the legislation, then the Commission would either have to accept or be given vote of no confidence.

      How can the amendment gain majority support if is not even tabled for debate?

      "Parliament, acting by a majority of its members, may request the Commission to submit any appropriative legislation proposal."

      just as MPs in Westminster will speak with their colleagues and gauge support before submitting a bill to the House.

      Do you think an MP could just show up and get a bill passed? No. It needs to be written, MPs be whipped and the matter discussed.

      Looks like MPs in Westminster do not have to jump through bureaucratic hoops and gatekeepers to table amendments for debate.

      They do have to jump through bureaucratic hoops. Just different ones. https://www.parliament.uk/documents/publications-records/House-of-Lords-Publications/Rules-guides-for-business/Guidance-members-HL/Promoting-a-Private-Members-Bill-HL.pdf …

        which then needs to be received by the PBO in advance of the debate, fully written up and approved.
