The institutions of the European Union are the seven principal decision making bodies of the European Union. They are, as listed in Article 13 of the Treaty on European Union: the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank and the Court of Auditors. Institutions are different from agencies of the European Union.
Most EU institutions were created with the establishment of the European Community in 1958. Much change since then has been in the context the shifting of the power balance away from the Council and towards the Parliament. The role of the Commission has often been to mediate between the two or tip the balance. However the Commission is becoming more accountable to the Parliament: in 1999 it forced the resignation of the Santer Commission and forced a reshuffle of the proposed Barroso Commission in 2004. The development of the institutions, with incremental changes from treaties and agreements, is testament to the evolution of the Union's structures without one clear "master plan". Some such as Tom Reid of the Washington Post said of the institutions that "nobody would have deliberately designed a government as complex and as redundant as the EU".

http://europa.eu/about-eu/ 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 the following series of clips, I introduce developments associated with the emergence of supranational (EU) and transnational regulatory regimes for a state-based legal framework. You will be referred to sources of law that originate outside the UK but which affect day-to-day life within it, most notably ECHR law and EU law.

The European Union is a house of cards threatening regional stability and global prosperity, argues Yanis Varoufakis. The flawed architecture of the EU’s institutions, which struggled to develop an effective or coordinated response to the Eurozone crisis, has never been addressed. What are the key lessons from the Eurozone crisis? And what can global leaders and citizens do to build a more just, democratic, and sustainable economic system?

I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Wake up the little boy
Puppet to be destroyed
Your privacy betrayed
Take take take your life away
Cold silent words come out
Been stolen from your mouth
Corrupted me this way
No, I will not obey
Institutions
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Out to you I reach
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Through the walls I creep
I woke up inside to see the outside
Nightmares they strip away
Toxic humanity
Captive to my own mind
Fictions on which I thrive
Sick man’s reality
Robs the awakening
Changes what once was real
Searching for what I feel
Institutions
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Out to you I reach
I hear the voices fade away, their voices fading away
Through the walls I creep
I woke up inside to see the outside
Did you get em
Born of god
We build a cage
Inside a saw
With no escape
My revelation
Now it takes control
Man’s fallen, world asylum
Can’t be, can’t be
Is this what we deserve?
Institutions in my head
Institutions in your head
