European Commissioner

A European Commissioner is a member of the European Commission, which is the executive branch of the European Union (EU). The Commission proposes new laws, enforces EU policies, and manages day-to-day operations. Each Commissioner is responsible for specific areas, such as environment, trade, or healthcare, and they work to represent the interests of the EU as a whole, rather than their individual countries. They play a crucial role in shaping EU legislation and ensuring that EU laws are applied consistently across member states.
