1. General Affairs and External Relations

2. Eonomic and Financial Affairs

3. Justice and Home Affairs

4. Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs

5. Competitiveness

6. Transport, Telecommunications and Energy

7. Agriculture and Fisheries

8. Environment

9. Education, Youth and Culture
