Address by François-Xavier Ortoli, the President of the Commission, to the European Parliament¹

Since the early days of the European Communities, it has always been the tradition for each new President of the Commission, on taking office, to deliver a general policy statement before the European Parliament. Today the President of the European Commission delivers an address to the Parliament each year (source: European Parliament, Historical Archives, blog October 21, 2014).
