Its president is Ursula von der Leyen, who presides over 27 other commissioners (one from each of the states composing the European Union, except Germany, which is Von der Leyen's state).
Election
Von der Leyen was selected and proposed to the European Parliament by the European Council on 3 July 2019 following a three day long negotiations between leaders of the member states. Von der Leyen faced many critics, especially by MEPs since the European Council ignored the so called spitzenkandidat system when chosing candidate for the position.
On 16 July 2019 European Parliament took a vote on the proposal by the European Council and elected Von der Leyen with 383 votes (374 votes needed). Von der Leyen is now expected to call upon the member states to nominate candidates for European Commissioners.
Commission is expected to take office on 1 November 2019.
