Commission européenne (European Commission)

The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union, responsible for proposing and implementing EU policies and laws. It acts as a guardian of the EU treaties, ensuring member countries follow agreed rules. The Commission manages the EU’s daily operations, prepares the budget, and represents the EU internationally. Composed of Commissioners appointed by member states, each overseeing specific areas like climate or trade, it promotes the Union’s interests and works toward common goals, such as economic growth, sustainability, and security.
