Wouldn't this be an argument in favor of having a non-elected bureaucracy? I mean, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. Even if the current ideology is that democratic governments are much better.
If you're trying to say that the EU makes better decisions than the local government I would tell you that it's at best hit and miss. I wouldn't go as far as to call this decision a fluke, but I've generally found the EU to make more bad decisions than good on the whole.
