The European Commission has been making headlines recently for various reasons, including investigations into tech giants like Facebook and Instagram for potential violations of the Digital Services Act. Additionally, the Commission has been taking steps to prevent Russia from using agricultural products to disrupt the EU market, imposing tariffs on grain imports from Russia and Belarus. Furthermore, the EU announced a significant funding package and an upgraded relationship with Egypt to address migrant flows to Europe.
The European Commission is the executive branch of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding EU treaties, and managing the day-to-day operations of the EU. It consists of a team of Commissioners, each overseeing specific policy areas. The Commission plays a crucial role in shaping EU policies and initiatives, working towards the collective goals of the EU member states. With its headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, the European Commission serves as a key institution in the governance of the European Union.
