The mission of the European Commission has not so much changed as evolved. The achievement of the single internal market, in 1992, was a major step foward. Moves toward a common currency, the Euro , are now well developed. The overall goal remains the development of the Union as specified in the 'Treaty on European Union'. As a result of the new mission, the agency now operates from a more professional mode.
Staff are more empowered.
There was an increase in the base salary and almost all positions require a college degree. Various committees were re-instituted, such as the policy and procedures and personnel committees. Since the scope of the mission is quite general it allows flexibility for the development of new and innovative initiatives which will not cause it to stray from its mission.
