Franciscus Henricus Johannes Joseph (Frans) Andriessen (born 2 April 1929 in Utrecht) is a senior Dutch politician.
In 1967 he was first elected to the House of Representatives for the Katholieke Volkspartij (KVP). From 1971 to 1977 he was leader of the KVP.[1] In 1977, the KVP merged with two protestant parties to form the Christen-Democratisch Appel (CDA). For the CDA, he served as Minister of Finance (1977–1980) and European Commissioner for Competition (1981-1985), Agriculture (1985-1989), and External Relations and Trade (1989–1993).[2] He is one of few politicians to serve three consecutive terms as an EU Commissioner.[3]
