Can't the EU just say no? Or do petitions actually have legislative powers.

    This is not a petition but an initiative. The EU is legally forced to process this as if it was an initiative made by a member of the European parliament.

    They have as much legislative power as any initiative by an MEP/MP/senator/congressman does. If there is no political support in the parties, the initiative will lose the vote. But it can also win it.
