Le principal objectif des pères fondateurs du projet européen, faire oublier les anciennes animosités, avait connu un tel succès qu'un projet comme celui du Marché intérieur devenait possible. Jacques Delors, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl et François Mitterrand ont eu le grand mérite de savoir relever les défis à ce moment décisif et de pouvoir, et oser, apporter des réponses.
The main aim of the founders of the European cooperation project - putting past differences behind them - had been achieved so successfully that a project such as the Internal Market was no longer unfeasible, and it is much to the credit of Jacques Delors, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl and François Mitterrand that they recognised the challenges at that decisive moment and were in a position to come up with answers.
