The Hallstein Commission was the European Commission of the European Economic Community (EEC) between 7 January 1958 to 30 June 1967. Its president was Walter Hallstein and held two separate mandates.
In 1965, President of France Charles de Gaulle rejected Hallstein's proposed Common Agricultural Policy, resulting in the "empty chair crisis". In a boycott, France recalled its representative in Brussels and refused to take its seat in the Council of Ministers. The crisis was resolved by in 1966 by the Luxembourg compromise, which gave members a veto on matters ‘very important national interest(s)'.
