Laws are proposed by the Commission, not the Council.
The Council and Parliament work like different chambers in the EU system, kinda like the Senate and the House in the US, but it's the prerogative of the Commission to propose new laws.
Elections work similarly in any European parliamentary system. Prime ministers are also indirectly elected in those systems.
The main difference is that the executive (the Commission) is the only one that can propose laws in the EU, but the other EU lawmakers can still amend legislation.
