Summary/Abstract: This article tries to show the original legal nature of the European Commission, called in the academic literature as “a EU genuine government”, in comparison with an executive state body. There are analyzed different meanings of the “executive authority” concept, and also we try to identify, within the EU institutional body, the institutions endowed with executive competences that haven’t received the denomination of “government” as in a state. Can we speak about many de facto governments in the EU institutional framework or can we only admit the existence of the European Commission, as unique executive institution, a true “super-EU government”?
