What is Jacques Delors known for?

I am primarily known for my two terms as President of the European Commission, a period during which we forged the Single Market and laid the groundwork for the Maastricht Treaty. My aim was to build a Europe that was not only economically strong but also socially just. This involved creating a framework where citizens could move freely, trade could flourish unimpeded, and common challenges, like unemployment, could be tackled collectively through robust institutions.
