First weekly meeting of the Commission of the European Communities, 06/07/1967

First weekly meeting of the Commission of the European Communities, 06/07/1967

On 8 April 1965 the Treaty merging the executives of the three Communities (ECSC, EEC, Euratom) was signed in Brussels and entered into force on 1 July 1967. The Treaty established a single Council and a single Commission of the European Communities. The single Commission took office for the first time on 6 July 1967 under the presidency of Jean Rey, President of the CEC. In his opening speech to this first meeting, Jean Rey welcomed new members to the European executives and paid tribute to former Presidents, Vice-Presidents and Members of the Commission and the High Authority of the ECSC who were no longer Members of the single Commission. This first meeting mainly focused on internal measures to ensure continuity of then on-going works. The Commission also drew up the agenda for the following meetings and distributed competences among its members.
