Secretariat-General

The Secretariat-General is responsible for the overall coherence of the Commission’s work – both in shaping new policies, and in steering them through the other EU institutions. It supports the whole Commission.

Responsibilities

The Secretariat-General is at the heart of the European Commission. Under the authority of the President, it serves the College and ensures collegiality, consistency, and efficiency of the Commission’s action. The Secretariat-General steers and coordinates the Commission’s work to ensure that its initiatives and operations are aligned with the political guidelines of the President.

The Secretariat-General ensures the smooth functioning of the institution, in coordination with the other presidential and central services.

Transparency

As part of the Commission's commitment to transparency, Commission staff holding management functions publish information on and minutes of all meetings they hold with interest representatives.
