Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyse the character of the European Commission, which gravitates between supranational and intergovernmental, by presenting the main arguments meant to support the aforementioned positions. Thus, in order to demonstrate the supranational character I used the arguments offered by the constitutive treaties concerning the Commission’s mission, functions and competencies. With regard to the intergovernmental perspective I made use of the link which is invariably established and perpetuated between member states and the commissioners appointed by them.
