The EU Commission published the much-anticipated Mission Letters from President Ursula von der Leyen to Commissioner-designates in September. However, they were released as image-only PDFs, limiting accessibility.
Machine-readable formats are crucial for efficient data analysis, automation, and accessibility, including for assistive technologies. In line with SAVOIRR’s values of inclusivity and transparency, we’ve made these Mission Letters available in Docx and PDF formats, ready for seamless processing and integration.
We’ve also assembled a comprehensive document package, including CVs, declarations of interest, MEP replies, and EP scientific briefings—everything you need to track the new Commission’s formation.
What are Mission Letters?
Mission letters to Commissioner-designates outline the responsibilities and priorities for each European Commissioner during their term. They include:
1. Policy Areas and Responsibilities:
Each letter specifies the portfolio and key policy areas the Commissioner will oversee, like climate, digital economy, or trade.
2. Strategic Goals:
Aligns the Commissioner’s work with broader EU priorities, such as the European Green Deal, digital transformation, or economic recovery.
3. Key Projects:
Lists important initiatives and legislative proposals the Commissioner should prioritize.
4. Collaboration:
Emphasizes teamwork with other Commissioners for cross-cutting issues.
5. Timelines:
Provides guidance on deadlines for key deliverables.
6. Citizen Engagement:
Encourages active dialogue with stakeholders and the public.
7. Values and Ethics:
Reinforces adherence to EU values and ethical standards.
The letters serve as a roadmap, helping Commissioners work toward the European Commission’s overall objectives.

These declarations are reviewed by the European Parliament to ensure that Commissioners can act independently without undue influence.
