Summary
The European Commission is widely regarded as the EU's main agenda-setter. The institution's role in European integration is recorded here by Martin Thiele in this legal history of its first two decades. The author analyzes how the Commission of the European Economic Community and its predecessor, the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community, were designed as supranational executive bodies, and highlights their active role in driving forward integration.
