The primary responsibilities of the Common Community Commission are health policy (curative and preventive medicine) and assistance to individuals (protection of youth, social welfare, aid to families, immigrant assistance services, etc.).
The Common Community Commission is composed of a council, the United Assembly, and an executive, the United College. The United Assembly consists of the members of both the Council of the
Secretaries of State. The United College is presided over by the Minister-President of the Brussels Region
, who only has an advisory vote. As a result, there are two French-speaking and two Flemish members with the right to vote.
The United Assembly can legislate by ordinance. In order to adopt an ordinance, a majority of its members must be present and an absolute majority of the votes cast must be in favour. However, there also must be a majority in each of the two language groups.
