Wouldn't that be the council? Commissioners are only responsible for specific areas so they can't really represent the overall the interests of their state directly.

The Council of the European Union nominates the Commissioners (one for each country) and the Council of the European Union is made up of 27 national minsters (one from each state). You are are right that the Commissioners are bound to their office but the way they are nominated has distinct national "mechanics".
