Del Bo Authority

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Del Bo Authority was the last High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), between 1959 and 1963. Its president was Rinaldo Del Bo of Italy. Del Bo was briefly followed by Albert Coppé's interim Authority.

There were only five High Authorities, this being the last, before ECSC was merged with the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community in 1967 to become the European Community.

When they were created, the Authorities of the Atomic Energy and Economic Communities were called "Commissions", and that name was kept after the three bodies merged rather than "High Authority", hence no Authority exists today.
