This dataset provides a snapshot of each Commission at the time that the first directory is published. For Commissions that come into office early in a year, the first directory is usually published later that year. For Commissions that come into office late in a year, the first directory is usually published early the next year. The exception is the Prodi Commission. The data for this Commission comes from the earliest available directory.
