<P> The Commission is led by a President who is nominated by the Council (in practice the European Council) and approved by Parliament . The remaining 27 Commissioners are nominated by member - states, in consultation with the President, and have their portfolios assigned by the President . The Council then adopts this list of nominee - Commissioners . The Council's adoption of the Commission is not an area which requires the decision to be unanimous, their acceptance is arrived at according to the rules for qualified majority voting . The European Parliament then interviews and casts its vote upon the Commissioners . The interviews of individual nominees are conducted separately, in contrast to Parliament's vote of approval which must be cast on the Commission as a whole without the ability to accept or reject individual Commissioners . Once approval has been obtained from the Parliament the Commissioners can take office .
