Or just make European Commission be directly elected in such system:

- candidate needs to be proposed in country

- EU wide elections are held, candidates can only gather votes outside of their own country.

- Votes are weighted by amount of seats in EU parliament.

What we have right now does not work at all, EC has 0 responsibility(towards EU citizens) for their own actions and is basically a magical black box.

> candidates can only gather votes outside of their own country

Few people would do the homework of researching hundreds of candidates from other countries.

They represent whole of EU, and by EC's words they focus on interests beyond benefit of their own countries so they already have to do that. in theory at least.
