 | | 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. | | | However, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament are both able to formally request that the Commission legislate on a particular topic. | | | The Commission is responsible for adopting technical measures to implement legislation adopted by the Council and, in most cases, the Parliament. |

| | The legislation it drafts is subject to amendment by the European Parliament and to ratification by the Council of the European Union. | | | It was under the presidency of Jacques Delors (1985–95) that the commission put forward the Single European Act (1987) and the Treaty of European Union (1992; also known as the Maastricht Treaty), both of which provided for a significant expansion of the EU& powers. | | | The commission implements the provisions of the EU& founding treaties and carries out rules issued by the Council of the European Union. |

| | Another consequence is that the European Court of Justice may parallel the Court of Human Rights as the tribunal of last resort. | | | The original Treaty of Rome was silent on the subject and it was not until the European Council of 1972 that the Community asserted its interest, backed (arguably beyond what was legally justifiable) by the Court of Justice. | | | The revised scheme, known as the European Monetary System, was designed to bring about a zone of currency stability in Europe through the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) and a new quasi-currency (not legal tender but usable in wholesale transactions) called the ECU, or European Currency Unit. |

| | But in fact, the European Commission and a European “court” created to arbitrate disputes are creating European law and ruling by edicts. | | | British opponents to European Union argue that constitutionally a British government cannot surrender Britain’s sovereignty to the European Union and that any such transfer is an act of treason. | | | Recently, the “European Court” ruled that member countries had, unbeknownst to themselves, given up the right to enter into treaties relating to air service and declared all existing agreements null and void. |

| | Unlike many fields, patents are unusual in that as a result of the existence of the European Patent Convention, and the creation of the European Patent Office, there already exists a supranational patent system, which covers the whole of the European Union, and indeed beyond, and which can act independently of the Community's legislative process. | | | And if I may be blunt, President, the process of renegotiation of the European Patent Convention would not require any contribution from this parliament. | | | Now if we fail in our efforts to achieve a harmonisation of patent law relating to computer-implemented inventions in the European Union, we may well be confronted with a renegotiation of the European Patent Convention. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Thereafter, the President is accountable to Parliament, who may dismiss the Commission with a vote of no confidence. |
