At the heart of the

European Union is the

European Commission:

a body with a unique combination

of legislative and executive

powers. It is responsible for a wide

range of policy areas ranging from

culture to agriculture. Employing

24 000 people from the length

and breadth of the EU, the

Commission works closely with the

European Parliament, the Council

of Ministers, civil society and

national governments. It strives to

bring Europe together through

mutual understanding and a

desire for peace, freedom and

prosperity. What is it like and who

works there? This booklet gives

you the chance to find out.
