| | President of the European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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 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. | | | 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". |

| | The European Council (not to be confused with the Council of Ministers) refers to the twice-yearly, or occasionally more frequent, summit meetings of EU heads of government (plus the directly elected presidents of France and Finland) and the president of the Commission. | | | The ECSC was the institutional model for the EEC, with a Council of Ministers representing the member states, a High Authority (equivalent to the Commission, with Monnet as its first president), an Assembly of national parliamentarians and a Court of Justice, all based in Luxembourg. | | | The European Parliament also pressed its case for an oversight role and France suddenly turned the choice of the ECB's first head into a political controversy, unsuccessfully demanding the position for Jean-Claude Trichet, president of the Banque de France. |
