===European Commission===
[[European Commissioner]]s are meant to remain independent, however there has been an increasing degree of [[European Commissioner#Politicisation|politicisation within the Commission]].<ref>{{cite web|last = Mahony |first=Honor|publisher=EU Observer|title = Brussels struggles with communication policy.|date=7 May 2007|url=http://euobserver.com/9/24016 |access-date = 12 May 2007}}</ref> In the current European Commission, five of the Commissioners belong to the PES family.

===European Council and Council of Ministers===
[[File:Current membership of the European Council.svg|thumb]]

[[Parties in the European Council|Party-alignment at the European Council]] is often loose, but has been the basis of some intergovernmental cooperation. At present five countries are led by a PES-affiliated leader, who represents that state at the [[European Council]]: Germany ([[Olaf Scholz]]), Spain ([[Pedro Sánchez (Spanish politician)|Pedro Sánchez]]), Malta ([[Robert Abela]]), and Denmark ([[Mette Frederiksen]]).

The makeup of national delegations to the [[Council of the European Union|Council of Ministers]] is at some times subject to coalitions: for the above governments led by a PES party, that party may not be present in all Council configurations; in other governments led by non-PES parties a PES minister may be its representative for certain portfolios. PES is in coalition in the following countries: Romania, Belgium, Slovenia and Estonia.
