Very early on (1962), the expansion of the CAP led the Council of Ministers to entrust the European Commission with a growing volume of executive duties, and with ensuring that these duties were carried out in close collaboration with the Member States: this was achieved by working with committees on which the Member States were represented.
Fin dal 1962, l'espan­dersi della PAC ha indotto il Consiglio dei Ministri a confe­rire alla Commissione europea una quantità crescente di fun­zioni esecutive e a procurare che tali funzioni venissero svol­te in stretto collegamento con gli Stati membri, tramite comi­tati nei quali questi ultimi fossero rappresentati.
