The introduction of clearer proposal cancellation authority, particularly where exercisable by the Security Council, appears to formalise discretionary intervention within the governance execution process.

Has consideration been given to how this expanded intervention pathway may affect decentralisation assessments under the EU MiCA framework, especially where a defined body retains structured authority to halt or modify governance outcomes?

While such powers may be justified for security and error mitigation, their existence may be relevant when analysing whether governance remains sufficiently autonomous or is subject to identifiable managerial control.
