The Community 's unique technical expertise and historical , cultural and geopolitical advantage in this domain was acknowledged at the Paris Economic Summit , when the Commission of the EC was given the mandate to coordinate efforts to assist economic reform in Eastern Europe and to provide emergency food aid to Poland . The delegations present at the Paris Summit meeting made no official statement regarding this letter , stressing that there was no necessity for a collective response . At the Paris Summit itself , it would appear that Delors proposed that the Commission be delegated the special mandate for the delineation of the concerted food aid and economic cooperation package at the morning session of July 15 , 1989 . He received his degree from Northwestern University and has studied at the Paris III La Nouvelle Sorbonne and New York University .
