 | | The Commission also takes the role of “guardian of the treaties”, which includes taking responsibility for initiating infringement proceedings at the European Court of Justice against member states and others who it considers to have breached the EU treaties and other community law. | | | The Commission is responsible for adopting technical measures to implement legislation adopted by the Council and, in most cases, the Parliament. | | | The Commission also regulates competition in the Union, vetting all mergers with Community-wide effects and initiating proceedings against companies which violate EU competition laws. |

| | In the context of infringement procedures, the Commission can freely decide whether or not any action should be undertaken; this is not the case as regards national measures adopted pursuant to safeguard clauses in harmonisation instruments. | | | With regard to the EU defence in the WTO panel, it is essential to ensure by all necessary means that EU legislation is complied with. | | | Commission services should elaborate on the interpretation of the co-existence guidelines and establish a coexistence network with all Member States to share information. |

| | The EU itself, however, and particularly the European Parliament, has sought to raise the profile of these issues, refusing membership and blocking Association Agreements where applicant states fail to abide by the Convention. | | | The currencies of all the existing EU member states formed part of the ECU 'basket', regardless of whether they also participated in the Exchange Rate Mechanism or would be absorbed into the single currency. | | | Another consequence is that the European Court of Justice may parallel the Court of Human Rights as the tribunal of last resort. |

| | EU Referendum |
| | It has been described by Gunter Verheugen, the EU industry commissioner, as "possibly the most controversial and complex piece of legislation in European history" and it was yesterday that the EU parliament passed the law through the "first reading" procedure, having substantially amended it in is passage. | | | So, for the eleventh year, the EU's Court of Auditors has refused to sign off the accounts. | | | Cutting to the chase, this simply means more power to the commission to vet member state accounts, an inevitable consequence of a supranational system where the central government – in this case the commission – is disbursing funds to its subordinate tiers. |

| | NoSoftwarePatents.com :: View topic - (EN) 28 FEB 05: EU Commission negates democracy |
| | Microsoft's push for EU software patents drew major attention recently after a leading Danish financial newspaper quoted Microsoft Denmark's chief lobbyist who said that Bill Gates had threatened the Danish government with killing 800 jobs unless the EU were to legalize software patents. | | | A week later, on 24 February, the plenary of the EP reinforced this by unanimously "inviting" the Commission to review its proposal for a software patent directive although there was no more formal requirement for the plenary to vote on this subject. | | | The European Commission has reportedly declined the European Parliament's request for a restart of the legislative process on the controversial software patent directive. |

| | President of the European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | This differs from the present procedure in that Parliament will acquire the power to reject the President-designate specifically, rather than simply rejecting the entire Commission. | | | Thereafter, the President is accountable to Parliament, who may dismiss the Commission with a vote of no confidence. | | | As the head of the European Commission, effectively the executive branch of the European Union, it is sometimes argued that it would be appropriate for the President to be elected by the European Parliament, or directly elected by citizens, rather than being chosen by national governments. |
