there's also the important point that once a law is passed, it's impossible for your elected representatives to remove it or even amend it

the entire project is about centralising executive power, which necessitates removing it from national legislatures

Yes, it will be impossible to change. It will prevent states from issuing national clarifications to patent law on software patents for example. And the European Parliament won't be the legislator on patent law, as the EU is not member of the EPC.
