How to see/get all wall posts of a specific Facebook page

For research purposes I need to get all wall posts of the European Commission's Facebook page. I tried it trough this link, but I couldn't get access: http://graph.facebook.com/EuropeanCommission/posts

Is there any chance I can get a list of all posts ever published by the Commission? Or do I need to hand-copy-and-paste them from the timeline? Comments are not needed.

I just tried in the API Explorer tool and I got the list of posts with pagination links too:
