On 20 May 2003, in Brussels, Jacques Delors gives a speech at the conference organised by the Greek Presidency of the Council of the European Union to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Agence Europe. At a time when the work of the European Convention is the focus of attention, Jacques Delors, as a reply to those who call for the ‘refoundation of Europe', advocates a ‘Europe continued' on the basis of the institutional legacy of the founding fathers of Europe, the indispensability of the Community method and the principle of ‘differentiation'.
