Who Really Runs the EU? The European Commission Explained

Who Really Runs the EU? The European Commission Explained The European Commission is the executive powerhouse of the European Union, shaping policies, enforcing laws, and managing the EU’s massive budget. But who really holds the power? How are Commissioners appointed? And why do critics argue that this unelected body has too much influence? In this 2024 update of our 2017 video, we break down the structure, role, and controversies surrounding the European Commission, from its legislative powers to its international influence. We’ll explore how it proposes laws, enforces regulations, and manages EU policies—plus the ongoing debates about its transparency and accountability. Corrections: On 3:20 we accidentally used a flag of Norway although they are obviously not an EU member. Thanks for spotting it ‪@slamcreper‬ And on 7:34 we used a flag of Moldova, which is also not an EU member. Although they have the strong ambitions to be one, so let's hope they correct this error for us :) Thanks for spotting it ‪@AlexeySkripnik‬ The 0:54 we discuss the composition of the Commission. In fact, Ursula von der Leyen changed this while we produced the video. So in the 2025 Commission there are 1 president, 6 executive vice presidents (incl. the High Commissioner), and 20 commissioners. Thanks to ‪@Ysimon23‬ for pointing it out. ——————————————————— For more information on the EU and its institutions please subscribe to our channel.
