List of European commissioners by member state


This is a list of European commissioners by member state of the European Union. Each name is a member of the European Commission and hold a specific portfolio within the college, led by the president of the European Commission. They operate similarly as European-level equivalents to national government ministers. Each member state of the European Union has the right to a single commissioner and appoints them in consultation with the president.
The accession of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007 raised the number of commissioners from 25 to 27, and after the accession of Croatia in 2013 the number of commissioners raised to 28. The United Kingdom left the EU on 31 January 2020, and did not nominate a commissioner when the Juncker Commission ended on 1 December 2019.
Below is a list of all past and present European commissioners according to the member state they were nominated by, including the presidents of the European Coal and Steel Community and European Atomic Energy Community. The colours indicate their European political family background.

Before hearings held

At the end of the Juncker Commission, some were initially named by the member states to succeed commissioners who took seats in the European Parliament before an agreement to not fill the seats under the start of the next commission.
The Von der Leyen I Commission requested member states name female and male candidates in order to have gender parity. She would then chose the one candidate to be formally nominated, or request new names. She usually continued her request for female and male candidates for vacancies throughout her first commission.
