"In the architecture of the European Union, the Commission’s role is akin to that of government in a typical State. The Commission has the legislative initiative, but also the power to implement regulations, directives and decisions. The Commission can therefore be considered the executive branch of the Union. It has derived powers, which allow it to take measures to implement texts adopted through the ordinary legislative procedure. Just as regulations and circulars in France must respect the laws in place, the implementing acts of the Commission are not independent from European laws. However, it is possible that, in exercising this quite natural power to implement, the Commission may exceed its powers, in most cases, without necessarily seeking to do so. For democratic reasons, it is for other EU institutions to monitor the Commission’s activity so that the division of powers is respected. That is why I voted in favour of this proposal for a regulation laying down the general principles for control by Member States of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers."@en1
