| In
June of 1983, the Stuttgart European Council signed a solemn
declaration on European Union. In the following months a Commission
headed by Jacques Delors drafted a White Paper laying out nearly
300 measures to remove trade barriers by 1992 and help to make the
EU more competitive economically. Another Committe headed by Pietro
Adonnino defined for the first time the concept of a common European
Identity and how it might be developed. |

At
the same time, the European Parliament overwhelmingly approved a
far-reaching plan for institutional reform prepared by the Institutional
Affairs Committee, headed by Altiero Spinelli. This led to the creation
of the Dooge Committee, which presented its report on the need for
institutional
reforms to the European Council. Both the White Paper and the Dooge
Report were approved at the Milan Council of June 1985, which accordingly
resolved to set up a new IGC over the coming months, the first in
almost three decades.
