Normalt er Kommissionen EU-rettens vogter, og i mange tilfælde er det den eneste garanti borgerne har for, at de har en ret - for fællesskabsretten er ret - der anvendes korrekt.
Normally the Commission is the guardian of EU law and for citizens, in many cases, it is the only guarantee that they have that the law (because Community law is law) will be applied correctly.
