After serving as minister of the treasury from 1963 to 1970, he became premier in Aug., 1970. His coalition government fell in Jan., 1972, but subsequently he has held additional cabinet posts, including the ministries of finance, of the treasury, of foreign affairs, and of the budget and economic planning. From 1977 to 1979 Colombo was president of the European Parliament.
