	UTLink: Hainsworth, Susan. Coming of Age: The European Community and The Economic Summit
		The EC was represented by Ruud Lubbers of the Netherlands in his capacity as President of the European Council, and by the President of the Commission, Jacques Delors.
		The (French) EC Commission President Delors, (Dutch) Foreign Minister van den Broek and (Belgian) EC Finance Minister de Clercq campaigned vigorously and adamantly for EC inclusion during the day of May 5 at the Tokyo meeting, narrowing their position to not permitting the creation of a finance minister's G7 if the EC were omitted.
		As the Commission had not been supported by two of the largest EC member states and summit participants (U.K. and F.R.G.), it was easier for the Americans to overrule the Commission with regard to commencing summit discussions on agricultural trade subsidies.

		Delors and Cockfield threw themselves into the revived single market programme to great effect, producing 282 Directives and Regulations, of which over 90% had been passed by the Council of Ministers and nearly 80% were being implemented in member states by the target date of 31 December 1992.
		The Social Chapter's main protagonist was Commission president Jacques Delors, that keen advocate of the 'European model of society' in which social objectives were held to be of equal importance with economic objectives in the framing of Community legislation.
		The Commission's plan to reduce from 50% to 35-40% the proportion of the EU's population classed as living in areas which qualify for assistance is already contentious enough.

		Delors was at pains to stress his delight at EU enlargement, along with "doubts" at the "dialectic between enlargement and deepening".
		Although he was no longer President of the Commission, Delors said he had proposed, in vain, an economic policy coordination pact for eurozone countries and wondered whether EMU countries would have to use strengthened cooperation.
		Delors wanted the EU to speak with a single voice in bodies like the IMF and the World Bank, saying there should be something like a relatively fixed exchange rate between hard currencies and it was not right that Europe should be a total victim of fluctuations in the dollar.

	President of the European Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The President of the European Commission is notionally the highest ranking unelected official within the European Union.
		The President of the Commission is selected by consensus among members of the European Council and must subsequently be approved by the European Parliament, along with the remainder of the Commission.
		As the head of the European Commission, effectively the executive branch of the European Union, it is sometimes argued that it would be appropriate for the President to be elected by the European Parliament, or directly elected by citizens, rather than being chosen by national governments.

		The Report to UNESCO of its International Commission on Education for the Twenty-first Century, published in December 1996, is undoubtedly the most significant educational document to come from UNESCO in the past quarter of a century.
		What Delors is saying is that a major shift in mind-set needs to take place, a shift from teacher to learner, and that this should have profound implications for the ways that education is conceptualised, and for the ways we focus our research.
		Yes, Delors would argue that they are, but at the same time he argues that they are absolutely essential for the future of humankind on this planet and, utopian or not, we simply have to strive for them.

		Commission Preferences The dominant image of the European Commission (Hix, 1999, 52), borrowed from rational choice analyses of bureaucratic actors (see, e.g., Niskanen 1971), is that of a classic bureaucracy, seeking always to extend its own powers and expand its empire.
		Appeal to the Commission’s founding idea may have strengthened the Commission President’s hand in the internal process of preference formation and allowed consistency across Commission preferences to be achieved, but, as a response to the demands of a Convention on the Future of Europe, it condemned the Commission to a position on the sidelines.

		--Jacques Delors was back in the news last week (May 19) when he publicly suggested that the EU's popularly elected Parliament be given a role in selecting the next president of the European Commission.
		Delors said that, in order to avoid what he described as public "indifference" to the parliament's next election 13 months from now (June 1999), each political party should propose a candidate for the Commission president who will take over in January 2000.
		Delors, himself a socialist, admitted that under his plan the president would come from the EU's most popular political group.

		At the initiative of the President of the Commission, Jacques Delors, backed by the President of the French Republic, François Mitterrand, and the German Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, a further step was taken towards integration with the objective of completing, by 1992, the single European market.
		It was to ward off that danger that Jacques Delors put forward the idea of a vanguard, and President Chirac, in his June 2000 address to the German Bundestag, that of a "pioneer group".
		Jacques Delors has suggested, on the assumption that "enhanced cooperation" will not suffice to resolve this question, that thought should be given to the possibility of promoting, within the EU itself, a "treaty within the treaty".

		Prodi's commission, whose term of office ends in November, was supposed to invigorate the Brussels machine and restore the EU's image to health after the sickening fate of its predecessor under the genial but incompetent Luxemburger Jacques Santer, whose entire Commission was forced to resign over serial scandals of fraud and mismanagement in 1999.
		The Commission of Jacques Delors, the former French finance minister who ran the show from 1985-95, had created the EU single market and pushed through the Maastricht treaty that charted the course for the euro currency and a common EU foreign policy.

		For years, the running gag about the European Commission was that half of its officials worked far too hard for their own good, and the other half did no work at all.
		The Commission is surely one of the world’s most open bureaucracies, in terms of access to officials – most keen to defend their institution -- by scholars seeking interviews and advice.
		The bitter animosity between Delors and the Experts’ chair, André Middlehoek, dating back to the latter’s tenure as head of the EU’s Court of Auditors, was clearly manifest in the report.

		Still, Commission and Parliament activism may have increased the efficiency of the agreement by expanding its substantive scope and increasing its salience.
		Only the Commission and certain groups within the Parliament succeeded in integrating a series of disparate technical proposals into a unified "single market" plan, linked that plan to appropriate institutional reforms, and promoted the result as a solution to the problem of European economic stagnation.
		The Commission first proposed a regulatory liberalization package (the "General Programme for the Removal of Technical Trade Barriers") in 1969; it was pursued for more than a decade and resulted in over one hundred directives.
