The European Commission is a politically independent institution of the EU operating from Brussels, Belgium.
The European Commission is responsible for framing proposals for new European legislation. Decisions made by the European Parliament and the Council of the EU are put into action by the Commission. The European Commission is entrusted with proposing new laws, managing EU policies, and enforcing EU law.
The Commission is composed of the College of 27 Commissioners (one from each of the 27 EU countries), which includes the president of the Commission, eight vice-presidents and 18 commissioners. These representatives are assigned to specific policy areas by the president. The day-to-day proceedings of the Commission are performed by its staff, organized into departments known as Directorates-General (DGs). The current Commission’s term of office runs until 31 October 2024 and has Ursula von der Leyen as its current president.
