Organisatieomschrijving
Europese Commissie (EC)Deze instelling van de Europese Unie kan worden beschouwd als het ‘dagelijks bestuur’ van de EU. De leden van de Europese Commissie worden ‘eurocommissarissen’ genoemd. Elke eurocommissaris is verantwoordelijk voor één of meerdere beleidsgebieden. Momenteel zijn er 27 eurocommissarissen, voor elke lidstaat één. Samen vormen zij het college van eurocommissarissen. De eurocommissarissen moeten het belang van de Europese Unie als geheel behartigen, niet dat van hun eigen land.De Europese Commissie mag als enige EU-instelling wetsvoorstellen indienen. Daarnaast controleert de Commissie of de Europese wetgeving juist wordt toegepast in de lidstaten. Bij overtredingen kan de Commissie een lidstaat dwingen zich aan Europese regelgeving te houden, door een procedure te starten bij het Europese Hof van Justitie.Verder onderhandelt de Commissie in internationale organisaties als de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) over de handel van de Unie met ‘het buitenland’. Zo wordt vastgesteld of overheden elders in de wereld ongeoorloofde staatssteun aan industrietakken geven, waardoor de Europese concurrentiepositie in gevaar komt. Ten slotte is de Commissie verantwoordelijk voor het beheer van de Europese begroting van ongeveer 140 miljard euro per jaar.Op 9 februari 2010 werd de voorgedragen Commissie goedgekeurd door het Europees Parlement en daarna benoemd door de Europese Raad. De Commissie-Barroso II ging op 10 februari 2010 van start.Europese politiedienst (Europol)Dit EU-agentschap verzamelt en analyseert inlichtingen over criminele activiteiten en probeert zo internationale criminaliteit in de Europese Unie tegen te gaan. Europol beheert een database met gegevens over criminelen en criminele netwerken in heel Europa. Het agentschap kan op deze manier de samenwerking tussen politiediensten in de Europese lidstaten ondersteunen, omdat het uitgebreide informatie biedt over internationale georganiseerde misdaadnetwerken.
