DGXXI of the EU Commission, July 1998. Dieckmann, T. `Stochastic Learning and ...
http://www.may.ie/publications/presidents_report/pdf/pres_02... European Commission Directorate General XI

The Directorate General XI (DGXI), residing within the European Commission, is concerned with both promoting and monitoring the implementation of the Community policies for the environment, nuclear safety, and civil protection. Actions of the DGXI follow the strategy, defined in 1992 by the European Commission Programme of Policy and Action and relate directly to the environment and sustainable development. The DGXI’s mission is aimed at achieving a high level of environmental protection, improving the quality of life, increasing environmental efficiency, preserving the rights of future generations to a viable environment, and ensuring the equitable use of our common environmental resources.

The DGXI’s current action plan aims to reflect the European Community’s overall commitment to sustainable development by installing five basic ‘imperatives’ to be used as the basis for policy and legislation within issues concerning the environment. These imperatives include: integration of environmental considerations into other policy areas (i.e. agriculture, industry, transport, energy, tourism, and regional policy); improved implementation and enforcement of policy legislation; broadening the range of instruments beyond legislation; improving information policies to promote public awareness; and developing a leading role in the international arena.

the services of the Commission of DGXX1 and DG1A


Explanation:
DGXX1 and DG1A are Directorates General of the European Council. I guess this passage refers to a joint Commission formed by two directorates, as it is a usual practice.
