- klelatti 6y agoYou may very well think that, but I could not possibly comment ;) Of course the criticism of the Commission is that it does more than 'just' implement policy. I think that's fair criticism but probably inevitable given it has to co-ordinate 27 member states.
- KSteffensen 6y agoThe European commissioners are suggested by the governments of the members states. Lobby your local state government if you are not happy about their choice of commisioner.
- klelatti 6y agoAnd the commissioners have to be assessed and approved by the European Parliament. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/hearings-2014/en https://www.europarl.europa.eu/hearings-2014/en
