The European Union and Its Governing Institutions

The European Union and the institutions that govern it, namely the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European Council. A body belongs here when its cited source places it within the Union and describes its role in making or carrying out Union policy. The group sits under the International and Supranational Organizations subcategory of the Political Atlas and helps a reader browse that subcategory by which part of the Union system each body forms. Each member is placed on the strength of the page it cites, so a reader can follow the grouping back to a stated source.
