Ik heb een tabel gemaakt van elke institutie met de leerstof uit het hoofdstuk. Je kan in principe het hoofdstuk overslaan en enkel de tabellen leren, maar daar is wel meer context/voorbeelden.
European Commission
Composition
The current European Commission is composed of 27 members.
A new Commission is composed after the elections of the European Parliament.
The rules of composition have been changed several times:
- Before Nice Treaty: 2 commissioners were appointed by each of the bigger Member States + 1 by the other Member States.
- Nice Treaty: limited to no more than 1 per Member State on a rotation basis.
- Lisbon Treaty: number of commissioners needed to be limited to 2/3’s of the Member States.
- They envisaged a reduction.
But: the Irish had voted against the Lisbon Treaty in a first referendum for fear of losing their commissioner. They voted in favor in a second
referendum on several conditions.
One of their conditions were that the number of Commissioners be kept at the level of 1 per Member State.
- 2014: European Council decided that the European Commission will continue to be composed like before, under the Nice Treaty.
=> The envisaged reduction has not been realized until date. Therefore, a future Treaty change would have to regularize the current non-
conformity with the Lisbon Treaty.
Function:
- Completely independent position.
- In the general interest of the Union.
They can never be asked something or receive instructions of a specific government/any other body during their mandate.
Procedure
Mandate: 5 years, but they can be reappointed.
1. The European Council shall propose a candidate for the position of European Commission president to the European Parliament.
2. They will elect the new Commission President.
3. The chosen president shall, in consultation with the Member States, choose new commissioners which will be attributed a police area
by him.
, 4. The European Parliament must approve the composition, AFTER having held informal examination procedures (oral and written).
Now:
- German president (Ursula von der Leyen)
- Belgian commissioner for Justice (Didier Reynders)
- Swedish commissioner for Home Affairs (Ylva Johansson) => Her area of responsibility includes asylum and migration, security and the
future of Shengen.
