The College 2024-2029
The Commission is composed of the College of Commissioners from 27 EU countries. They are assigned responsibility for specific policy areas by the President. As the treaty says, each Member of the College is equal – and each Commissioner has an equal responsibility to deliver on the priorities. That means that all Commissioners must work together.
"In the last five years, Europe has shown what it can achieve when it does it together. It is time for Europe to step up collectively once again."
Ursula von der Leyen
President of the European Commission
Meet the College of Commissioners and check their portfolios, reflecting the ambitions set out in the Political Guidelines for the 2024-2029 mandate of the European Commission. Each Executive Vice-President has a portfolio to focus on – for which they will have to work with other Commissioners.
