It is not a structure that is conducive to political coups de theâtre , and most of the Commission’s work is the relentless grind of EU regulation and re-regulation. But the bottom line is that at a time when everyone is asking, “What is Europe doing?”, the Commission’s responses have seemed inadequate.
委员会自身谨小慎微和官僚的内部文化也是一种限制，布鲁塞尔没有人愿意多谈。这一结构并不有利于政治成就，而且委员会的大多数工作就是没完没了的制定欧盟法规以及重新制定法规。但是基本问题就是，当每个人都在问“欧洲在忙些什么”的时候，委员会的反应似乎不够。
