Jacques Delors - architect of euro and EU single market - has died | BBC News

Jacques Delors, who played a central role in the design of the euro and creation of the single market, has died aged 98.

Mr Delors served as European Commission president from 1985 to 1995, a period in which he championed closer European monetary and political union. He was hailed as a “statesman of French destiny” by France’s president Emmanuel Macron.

However to others at the time, like Britain’s Margaret Thatcher who opposed the single currency and European integration, he was regarded with deep suspicion, accused of seeking to build a "European super-state".
