The Monnet Authority was the first High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), between 1952 and 1955. Its president was Jean Monnet of France.
Monnet resigned on Europe day 1955 following the failure of the European Defence Community[1][2] and was succeeded by the Mayer Authority. There were four more High Authorities before the ECSC was merged with the European Atomic Energy Community and the European Economic Community in 1967 to become the European Community.
The High Authority was based temporarily in Luxembourg City and consisted of nine members; one each for the small Benelux states, two for the larger states of France, Germany and Italy. Nevertheless, the Monnet Authority had two members from Belgium and one from Italy. The members were supposed to represent the general interest of the Community and were assisted by a consultative committee.
