The Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) is the executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union responsible for implementing decisions, upholding the EEU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the Eurasian Economic Union. The main task of the Eurasian Economic Commission is to ensure the functioning and development of the EEU, and to prepare proposals for its further integration.
The Board of the Commission operates as a cabinet government, with 14 members of the Commission ("commissioners"). There are three members per member state (and until 1 January 2016: 2 from Kyrgyzstan). The Chairman of the commission (currently Tigran Sargsyan) is nominated by the heads of state of the member states of the EEU. The Commission includes an administrative body composed of 23 departments, 18 consultative committees, and 2000 civil servants. The usual working language of the Commission is Russian.
The EEC was constituted by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Commission, signed on November 18, 2011 and which entered into force on 1 January 2012. It began it operations on February 2, 2012. On 1 January 2015 it became the principle organ of the Eurasian Economic Union, upon entry into force of the Treaty on the European Economic Union.
The legal basis for the Eurasian Economic Commission is the Treaty on the European Economic Commission, which entered into force on 1 January 2012 for Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia. The commission started its work 1 month later as an executive body for the Single Economic Space. All the powers of the Customs Union's Commission, which had been established in 2010 are delegated to the commission. With the entry into force of the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, the Commission became the main executive organ of Union.
With the enlargement of the Eurasian Economic Union, more Board and Council Members were appointed. Both Armenia and Kyrgyzstan received one Board member from the moment of their accession to the Union, as well as 3 respectively 2 Council Members. The Council members were however not assigned a specific portfolio, until the next commission is appointed in February 2016.
The EEC is a two level body, consisting of:
The Presidency of the Council rotates every year among the deputy prime-ministers of EEC member states. Rotation of the Presidency of the Council is carried out in turn in Russian alphabetical order by name of the Party. The Council's decisions are taken by consensus.
The executive power of the EEC is held by the Board of the Commission, providing development and implementation of policies for further integration. The Board of the Commission is composed of 14 commissioners, 3 per member state (and until 1 January 2016: 2 from Kyrgyzstan). One of the commissioners is the Chairman of the College of the Commission. The Chairman of the Commission and Members of the Board of the Commission are appointed for four years with a possible extension of powers by Heads of States. The decisions of the College of the Commission are made by " qualified majority voting". Each member of the College of the Commission has one vote.
