The Commission will publish its interim economic forecasts, updating the outlook for GDP growth and inflation for Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, The Netherlands and Poland as well as EU and Euro area aggregates.
The Commission produces short-term macroeconomic forecasts twice a year, in the spring (May) and autumn (November). These forecasts concentrate on the Member States, the euro area and the EU, but also include outlooks for candidate countries as well as some non-EU countries.
In between the fully-fledged spring and autumn forecasts, interim forecasts are produced in which an update of real GDP growth and inflation is estimated for the seven largest Member States and for the current year only. The interim forecasts are largely prepared using indicator-based models.
-
-They contain one-year projections of GDP growth and consumer price inflation for the euro area and the EU.
-
-They also take into account most recent information on external factors and on all Member States
-
-They contain, based mainly on model forecasts, an update of the growth and inflation outlook for the larger Member States.
-
-Euro area and EU wide data are obtained by aggregating the data for the large Member States and correcting for the growth differential between the larger and smaller Member States

Deze instelling van de Europese Unie kan worden beschouwd als het 'dagelijks bestuur' van de EU. De leden van de Europese Commissie worden 'Eurocommissarissen i' genoemd. Elke Eurocommissaris is verantwoordelijk voor één of meerdere beleidsgebieden. Momenteel zijn er 26 Eurocommissarissen. In principe is er voor iedere lidstaat één. Samen vormen zij het college van Eurocommissarissen. De Eurocommissarissen moeten het belang van de Europese Unie als geheel behartigen, niet dat van hun eigen land.
De Europese Commissie mag als enige EU-instelling wetsvoorstellen indienen; zij heeft het zogenaamde recht van initatief. Daarnaast controleert de Commissie of de Europese wetgeving juist wordt toegepast in de lidstaten, onderhandelt zij in internationale organisaties als de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) i over de handel van de Unie met het 'buitenland' en is zij verantwoordelijk voor het beheer van de Europese begroting van ongeveer 140 miljard euro per jaar.
