Summary:

How ‘political’ can and should the European Commission be? This question is a long-standing one. On the one hand, European integration demands more and more political and distributive choices to be taken at European level. On the other hand, there is the fear that a political Commission would undermine its own role as the neutral, objective guardian of the Treaties.

In this policy brief, Thu Nguyen revisits the concept of a ‘political Commission’ and argues for a reinforcement of its political character in the run-up to the 2024 European elections.
