Sabathil (Head of the Representation of the European Commission in Germany), Joos (managing director, EUTOP International GmbH), and Kessler (chairman of the board of directors of EUTOP Bruxelles S.A.) have created a primer on the structure and activities of the European Commission. They explain the relationship of the Commission to other institutions and bodies of the European Union, describe the responsibilities and powers of the Commission members, discuss the administrative structure of the Commission, and outline the policies for which the Commission is responsible. They also offer chapters on external relations, general services, and internal services and conclude by providing important addresses and phone numbers for the Commission, other EU institutions and facilities, and business and other associations.
