EC

The European Commission (EC) is the executive branch of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing EU policies, ensuring compliance with EU laws, and managing financial resources. Its headquarters are located in Brussels, Belgium.

The Commission consists of 27 commissioners—one from each EU member state. Each commissioner oversees a specific area, such as energy, trade, health, or the environment. The President of the Commission is elected for a five-year term and represents the EU on the international stage.

The European Commission plays a pivotal role in EU enlargement, integrating new members, and collaborating with partners like Ukraine in areas such as reforms, trade, and political cooperation.
