Great news, but it's only a first step. European political system is quite complex. Correct me if I'm wrong but the law has only been voted by the European Parliament, and now it has to be ratified by each country.

Personnal opinion: I don't see the french government ratifying a text which would limits their authoritarian drift.

It can indeed be complex. It depends on what type of law it is, in this case it’s a regulation so there is no need for countries to ratify it:

Regulations

Regulations are legal acts that apply automatically and uniformly to all EU countries as soon as they enter into force, without needing to be transposed into national law. They are binding in their entirety on all EU countries.
