Dear Avis
The term 'European Commission' was introduced in November 1993 as an
alternative form of the official name 'Commission of the European
Communities' (presumably the coming into force of the TEU)
The OJ title change was decided by the Treaty of Nice and will thus
happen after the Treaty is ratified and comes into force.
Best wishes
Ian
