The Frenchman was "a great European, a visionary and an architect of today's European Union", to whom Europe owes a great deal, Lindemann announced on Thursday.

Delors had "driven forward essential core building blocks of the modern EU, such as the Schengen Agreement or the Economic and Monetary Union", which paved the way for the euro. "Especially in the Franco-German Saarland, his memory will be honored," Lindemann said. Delors died at the age of 98.
