Information Society. Treaty of Lisbon. The Treaty of Lisbon (initially known as the Reform Treaty) is an international agreement which amends the two treaties which form the constitutional basis of the European Union (EU). The Lisbon Treaty was signed by the EU member states on 13 December 2007, and entered into force on 1 December 2009. It amends the Maastricht Treaty (also known as the Treaty on European Union) and the Treaty of Rome (also known as the Treaty establishing the European Community). In this process, the Rome Treaty was renamed to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
The stated aim of the treaty was "to complete the process started by the Treaty of Amsterdam [1997] and by the Treaty of Nice [2001] with a view to enhancing the efficiency and democratic legitimacy of the Union and to improving the coherence of its action. History[edit] Background[edit] The Constitution, having been agreed by heads of government from the 25 Member States, was signed at a ceremony in Rome on 29 October 2004. Directorate-General for Information Society and Media (European Commission) Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology[1] or "DG CONNECT" is a Directorate-General of the European Commission. DG CONNECT is responsible for managing the Digital Agenda.
The current European Commissioner for Digital Agenda is Neelie Kroes (Netherlands) and the Director-General is Robert Madelin.[2] Background[edit] On 1 July 2012 DG CONNECT replaced the DG for Information Society & Media (DG INFSO).[3] The mission will also change and large staff cuts are foreseen (from 1 January 2013 a substantial part of the ex-INFSO agenda will be externalised). DG INFSO was previously known as DG XIII. Until 2004, the DG shared Commissioner with DG Enterprise. From January 2005, DG Information Society was expanded to include Media (formerly under DG Education and Culture). Mission[edit] The DG's role is to; Structure[edit] Directorates: A: Components & Systems (Director: Khalil ROUHANA) B: Electronic Communications Networks & Services (Director: Gerard DE GRAAF) Institutions of the European Union. Organigram of the institutions The European Union (EU) is governed by seven institutions.
Article 13 of the Treaty on European Union lists them in the following order: the European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of the European Union (simply called "Council"), the European Commission, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank and the Court of Auditors.[1] Institutions are different from agencies of the European Union. History[edit] Most EU institutions were created with the establishment of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in the 1950s. Much change since then has been in the context the shifting of the power balance away from the Council and towards the Parliament.
Establishment[edit] The first institutions were created at the start of the 1950s with the creation of the ECSC, based on the Schuman declaration, between six states. Changes[edit] List[edit] European Parliament[edit] European Council[edit] Council[edit] Commission[edit]
