Jacques Delors, former president of the European Commission, dies at the age of 98. Delors was one of the most important architects in shaping the European Union and contemporary Europe. He participated in the creation of the single market, signed the Schengen agreements and launched the Erasmus student exchange programme. In March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, he called on EU heads of state and government for greater solidarity at a time when the joint response to the health, social and economic crisis of three years ago was being discussed.
