Introduction

The European Commission is the executive body of the European Union's political system, aimed at implementing the decisions of the European Council and the European Parliament. In addition, the European Commission is also responsible for proactively proposing laws, policies, and project suggestions. It is noteworthy that the European Commission is a supranational institution independent of the member states, and its members serve the entire EU rather than their respective member states. In the Chinese version of its official website, the European Commission is translated as "European Commission" or "EU Executive Commission," but in official documents from mainland China, it is generally referred to as "European Commission," which better reflects its status as an EU institution. Please note that the European Commission refers to a completely different institution that is not part of the EU in Chinese official documents. The headquarters of the European Commission is located in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, and the official languages are French, German, and English.
