The European Commission ‘Directorates-General’ or DGs are like ministries in EU Member States. Each broad sphere of European Commission competence has its own Directorate-General. Most DGs are headed by a Director General, who in turn reports to a European Commissioner. There are around 37 Directorates-General. Their number tends to change every five years with each new European Commission College (assembly of European Commissioners).
