I januari 2025 lade kommissionen fram den s.k. konkurrenskraftskompassen, det första större initiativet under Ursula von der Leyens andra mandatperiod som chef för EU-kommissionen. Kompassen utgör en strategisk och tydlig ram för hur kommissionen ska bedriva sitt kommande arbete. EU ska bli en klimatneutral plats där framtidens teknik, tjänster och miljövänliga produkter uppfinns, tillverkas och marknadsförs.

En konkurrenskraftskompass för EU

EP Plenary session - Commission statement - The time the European Commission takes to deal with requests for public access to documents

The European Commission is the executive body of the European Union. Under the Treaties, its tasks are to 'promote the general interest of the Union', without prejudice to individual Member States, to 'ensure the application of the Treaties' and measures adopted under them, for instance through taking infringement measures against Member States who do not correctly implement EU legislation, and to 'execute the budget'. It also holds a near monopoly on the right of legislative initiative, alone proposing virtually all EU legislation to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU. The College of Commissioners is currently composed of 27 individuals: the President, Ursula von der Leyen, 6 Executive Vice-Presidents and 20 Commissioners. The Executive Vice-Presidents have a dual role; they manage a specific portfolio and coordinate efforts across the main priorities of the Commission's political agenda. The other Commissioners are each responsible for a specific policy area, working under the guidance of the Executive Vice-Presidents. The table below shows for each Commissioner the Vice-President(s) guiding work on their portfolio (in certain cases, Commissioners work directly under the guidance of the President).

Enforcement of the Digital Markets Act is under way. The European Commission has launched formal proceedings against three major providers of core platform services. The Commission's preliminary findings suggest breaches of EU rules. To date, two of these preliminary findings have been confirmed, resulting in non-compliance decisions and fines for the companies in April 2025.
