EU Commission, Council and Parliament

Much is said of how faceless our Eurocrats are, especially in the EU Commission.
Like present and most recent UK incumbents, Jonathan Hill and Catherine Ashton, respectively. But what about our past reps, whom no-one could accuse of being unknown?
  • Roy Jenkins
  • Leon Brittan
  • Neil Kinnock
  • Chris Patten
  • Peter Mandelson
Here is a handy graphic on the ABC of the EU Commission, Council and Parliament:

Not to be confused with the European Council or Council of the European Union, the Council of Europe is based in Strasbourg, was founded 1949, comprises 47 member states including all 28-nation European Union members, and is best known for the European Court of Human Rights.
