	President of the European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The President of the Commission is selected by consensus among members of the European Council and must subsequently be approved by the European Parliament, along with the remainder of the Commission.
		As the head of the European Commission, effectively the executive branch of the European Union, it is sometimes argued that it would be appropriate for the President to be elected by the European Parliament, or directly elected by citizens, rather than being chosen by national governments.
		The duties and responsibilities of the President are regulated by Article 217 of the EC Treaty according to which "The Commission shall work under the political guidance of its President, who shall decide on its internal organisation in order to ensure that it acts consistently, efficiently and on the basis of collegiality".

	European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The European Commission (formally the Commission of the European Communities) is the executive body of the European Union.
		Alongside the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, it is one of the three main institutions governing the Union.
		The Commission originated in the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community, which was established in 1952 under the terms of the Treaty Establishing the European Coal and Steel Community.

		Under the French Third and the Fourth Republics, the "President of the Council" (of ministers) was the head of government, with the President of the Republic a largely symbolic figurehead.
		A common presidential symbol are the presidential sashes as worn by Latin American presidents as a symbol of the presidency's continuity, and presenting the sash to the new president is a key part of the inauguration ceremony.
		Though the president is to be chosen solely by a unanimous decision by the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, the entire body of the church votes to sustain the President in this calling.

		President Kabbah, who also looked forward to reaching a fisheries agreement with the European Commission, expressed concern over the continuing widespread illegal fishing by foreign vessels in the country's territorial waters, depriving Sierra Leoneans of both an essential diet and national income.
		The Commission congratulated the President for his efforts in the democratization of the country and the stabilisation of the region and assured the President that "the special post conflict situation of Sierra Leone" will be taken into consideration in the European Commission's cooperation with the country.

		As President Mahmoud Abbas was telling us before, he has to address the concerns of young people who have no job in their territory. And so we should now build upon this.

		The European Commission is currently negotiating a proposal to provide tariff- and quota-free access to the EU market for all products, except armaments, exported from the worldâs poorest countries.
		And one european problem to create the EU (because for the moment it is only a politically correct sentence) is that you refuse to transfer your power to citizens.
		Its aim is supposedly to preserve European values and ideals from â¦ the Europeans, since the main reason for the formation of the European Union, according to numerous preambles to treaties, is the bad behaviour of the people of Europe in the past.

		While Gretta Duisenberg is a private citizen and is entitled to her own opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, her actions endorsed by her husband enjoy a unique public platform by virtue of her husband's position as President of the European Central Bank.
