Étienne Davignon

Étienne Davignon   (deep state actor, politician)
Member of	Bilderberg/Steering committee, Centre for European Policy Studies, European Round Table of Industrialists, Friends of Europe, Gilead Sciences, Kissinger Associates, Le Siècle, Trilateral Commission
A Bilderberg chairman.

As chairman of Société Générale de Belgique, Étienne Davignon was a member of the European Round Table of Industrialists.

Davignon later became the first head of the International Energy Agency, from 1974 to 1977, before becoming a member of the European Commission, of which he was vice-president from 1981 till 1985. From 1989 to 2001, he was chairman of the Belgian bank Société Générale de Belgique, which is now part of the French supplier Suez and was not an arm of the French bank Société Générale, but a Belgian institution. He is now Vice Chairman of Suez subsidiary, Suez-Tractebel.

Bilderberg

Davignon attended many Bilderberg conferences (at least as far back as 1977) and took over from Peter Carrington as chairman of the annual Bilderberg conference in 1998, chairing until 2001. He is a member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.

Euro creation

Étienne Davignon stated in a 2009 interview that the Bilderberg group "helped create the euro in the 1990s", a claim which is given credence by a leaked report of the 1955 Bilderberg meeting which mentions a desire for a single European currency.
