European Commission

The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union responsible for proposing and implementing policies, managing daily operations, and ensuring that member countries follow EU laws. It functions like a government body, representing the EU as a whole, and works to promote economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social well-being. Commissioners are appointed to oversee specific areas such as trade or climate change. The Commission also negotiates international agreements and manages the EU budget. Overall, it plays a key role in shaping and enforcing the rules that help unify and coordinate the 27 member states.
