This really good animated video explains the EU bodies and how they work.
The European Commission explained - Functioning and Tasks
The animated video explains to the general public the functioning and tasks of the European Commission. The main 4 roles of the European Commission are illustrated throughout the story: 1) Right of initiative -- proposing new laws and policies; 2) Policy implementation -- managing European Union policies and the budget; 3) Guardian of the Treaties -- enforcing European Union law; 4) International dimension -- ensuring the Union's external representation.
In 2012 the EU received the Nobel Peace Prize for advancing the causes of peace, reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe. This video commemorates that achievement by reminding viewers of that transition from war to peace.
