For many people, Jacques Delors personifies the European Community's remarkable revival in the late 1980s. His reign as Commission president coincided with some of the most important developments in the EC's history: the white paper on completing the internal market (1985); the Single European Act (1986), which broadened the Community's policy scope and introduced badly needed decision making reform; the Delors I (1987) and Delors II (1992) budget packages, which included massive financial transfers to the poorer member states; and the Maastricht Treaty (1992) with its provisions for economic and monetary union (EMU) and a common foreign and security policy.
