The
Delors Commission was the administration of
Jacques Delors, the eighth
President of the European Commission. Delors presided over the
European Commission for three terms (though the last one lasted for around a year). The first term lasted from 1985 to 1988, the second until 1992 and the final one until 1994, making Delors the longest serving president, and his Commission is also seen as the most successful. It was the only Commission to serve three times, and Delors served five two-year terms (as they were then). The third Commission was the first Commission of the
European Union, the
Maastricht Treaty having come into force in 1993.
