The European Commission, arguably the most controversial of the EU's institutions, is based in Brussels and draws up treaties, laws and policies.
In this sense, the European Commission is an extremely important and powerful body that has the right to impose its decisions on member states of the European Union (EU) and it is this fact that concerns many people involved in British politics.
In the early-1990’s the Commission president was Jacques Delor and such was his influence on the Commission that the development plan for the European Commission was known as the "Delor’s Plan".

The unusual emphasis that the European Union has placed on the requirement that it must be capable of absorbing a new member is largely due to the diplomatic efforts of Austria, which has strong reservations about Turkish EU membership.
It is confronted with a number of challenges that might undermine its capacity to absorb Turkey, such as the future of the proposed EU constitutional treaty, changes in the EU budgetary framework and the general need to consolidate the Union after the recent admission of ten new members.
The Commission is already planning the removal of barriers to the free movement of services as a short-term priority, and some restrictions could also be eased on the movement of Turkish workers.
