Introduction

The European Commission is the executive body of the European Union (EU) political system, designed to implement and enforce decisions made by the European Council and European Parliament. In addition, the European Commission is responsible for proposing laws, policies, and projects. It is important to note that the European Commission is a supranational institution independent of its member states, and its commissioners serve the entire EU rather than individual member countries. The Chinese version of the European Commission's official website is translated as "European Commission" or "EU Executive Commission", but in official documents in Mainland China, it is generally referred to as the "European Commission", which better reflects its status as an EU institution. Please note that the term “European Commission” in official documents in China refers to a completely different institution that is not part of the European Union. The European Commission is headquartered in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and its official languages are French, German, and English.
