On the 1 January 2017, Jean-Claude Juncker paid his respects on the passing away of former European Commissioner Henning Christophersen. He reminded that during his time as Vice-President of the European Commission for Budget and later for Economic and Financial Affairs from 1985 to 1995, Henning Christophersen decisively contributed to the preparations of the launch of the Euro and of the Economic and Monetary Union. Through his pioneering work on Transeuropean Networks, he also played a big role in the realisation of the Internal Market. |
