The European Parliament elections<\/strong> have recently concluded-a moment of great importance for Europe, which is enjoying considerable media coverage at this particular historical stage.<\/p>\n\n

But what are the most immediate effects of the formation of a new European Parliament?<\/strong> We have already analyzed the most important and strategic aspects here<\/a>: but let’s try to better understand together what is happening these days!<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

One of the first tasks of the new Parliament<\/a> is theelection of the President of the European Commission<\/strong>. For some years now, the system has been that each European political party submits a candidate before the election, and that candidate is then put forward for office by the party with the most votes.<\/p>\n\n

However, the president of the Commission is elected by Parliament by absolute majority<\/strong>, so the political agreement needed for the appointment may be more difficult when no one party has obtained a clear majority. (Here is an interesting summary of who and what the “Presidents” of the European Union<\/a> are).<\/p>\n\n

The newly elected Commission President proposes to the European Council<\/a> a list of candidate commissioners<\/strong>, indicating one from each member state.<\/p>\n\n

Next, the identified commissioners are vetted by the various parliamentary committees, based on their respective areas of expertise; then the entire commission is put to a comprehensive vote by Parliament. The Council then deliberates their official appointment, by qualified majority vote.<\/p>\n\n

The confirmation process is multifaceted, there are more or less strategic thematic areas, and the system involves not only a selection of commissioners by thematic area of expertise, but also by country of origin<\/strong>. This generates a complex process of negotiation among the political forces in Parliament and among the member states (in the Council).<\/p>\n\n

The President of the European Commission, the Vice-Presidents and the 28 Commissioners serve five-year terms<\/strong>. Their college represents the body of political responsibility of the European Commission, which is accountable to Parliament for its decisions (in particular: strategy, policies, legislative acts, funding programs and annual budget proposed to Parliament and the Council).<\/p>\n\n

Commissioners are at the top of the European Commission<\/a>‘s policy departments, the Directorates General<\/a> (DGs), which are responsible for the development, implementation and management of EU policies, laws and funding programs in the various thematic areas. A Director General<\/strong> heads the organizational and operational structure<\/a> of each individual DG. <\/p>\n\n

The current debate will therefore decide who will be in charge of EU programs and policies<\/strong> (the bread and butter of every EU project designer!) over the next five years.<\/p>\n\n

We wish all the commissioners who will be appointed at the end of this long process well…preparing to amaze them with our beautiful projects!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
