European Commission

À propos

The European Commission's framework programme for research and innovation.

The European Commission is the executive arm of the European Union, headquartered in the Berlaymont building in Brussels, Belgium, with most offices based in Brussels and Luxembourg. It is alone responsible for drawing up proposals for new European legislation, which are then discussed, amended and adopted jointly by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. The Commission implements the decisions of the Parliament and the Council, manages EU policies and the EU budget, and enforces EU laws once they come into force. It is responsible for upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the Union. It also represents the Union outside Europe, for example by negotiating trade agreements. Its registered address is Rue de la Loi / Wetstraat 200, 1049 Brussels, Belgium.
