The European Commission (EC) is responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the EU. The members are proposed by their member state governments, one from each. However, they are bound to act independently. They are completely independent in carrying out their duties during their mandate. This is in contrast to the Council, which represents governments and the Parliament. Through Article 17 of the Treaty on European Union the Commission has several responsibilities: to develop medium-term strategies; to draft legislation and arbitrate in the legislative process; to represent the EU in trade negotiations; to make rules and regulations.
The European Council charged with defining the European Union's (EU) overall political direction and priorities. It comprises the heads of state or government of the member states, along with the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission. The European Council has no direct legislative power
