Abstract
It was the main interest and fascination of Horst Krenzler to handle and shape the foreign economic relations of the European Union (EU). He served the EU Commission as the responsible Director-General for foreign relations from 1986 to 1996. This is a long period as this central function is very much aspired to by other leading Member States who are always interested in a regular rotation amongst them.
