Address by Jean Rey, 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).
