Delores believed in shrinking state intervention in economy and in social welfare, deregulation of whole economic areas, decreasing of worker unions influence, reduction of taxes.  Implementing simultaneously the great market without frontiers and more economic, social cohesion. Tatcher says that we certainly do not need new regulations which raise the cost of employment and make Europe's labour market less flexible and less competitive with overseas suppliers. Britain will fight attempts to introduce collectivism and corporatism in Europe.  She is against policy against any advancement in European integration, striving to reduce the British contribution to the EU.

A draft treaty of the European Union was created which would have increased the powers of the Commission and the Parliament, and it was approved by the European Parliament. It was supposed to promote supranationalism (large amount of power given to an authority which in theory is placed higher than the state) over intergovernmentalism (states, and national governments are the primary actors in the integration process). The treaty was rejected because national governments wanted to maintain their sovereignty.

The treaty build up on existing treaties and the aim was economic and monetary union.

Treaty of Maastricht also led to institutional reforms. Voting in the Council and Parliament powers were extended. Parliament set up committees of enquiry and a Regional committee was set up.

Concept of common citizenship was emphasised.

The principle of subsidiarity was adopted, which meant that policy decisions should be taken at the appropriate level.

Overall, the treaty established the European Union and was a giant leap forward European Integration.

they had two completely different view of eu.
delores is pro to the single act, for him is the beginning of a era, a era where the eu countries work as one, in the other hand we have Thatcher said that every country is different and they cannot think that the eu is just one country and everycountry is at the same level, "although what people wish to do in their own countries is a matter for them".

The ultimate objective of the Maastricht treaty was to create monetary and economic union

The process much alot  slower as the countries that came after 73 were not completely essential and central, and alot  more time was used to analyze the countries and the effect that accepting the countries into the union would have. an example is how much inner eu competition would exist between Southern European countries Spain and Portugal and what the effect would be for the whole union.
In broad terms the slowdown of the process is due to the union being careful when looking into new members.
Also there are historic differences between certain countries and that causes debate and slowdown.
The original countries also had their own ideas on how the union should look and these ideas conflicted alot  and caused alot of discussion.

The break-up of Communist regimes in the late 1990s, leading to the reunification of Germany and the break-up of the USSR, created new challenges for the Community. There was also the Gulf War, which required a united political response. Despite these differences, Community members signed the Treaty of European Union (TEU) at Maastricht in December 1991.

The Maastricht treaty enabled the EEC to become what we call today the EU. In December 1990 there were intergovernmental conferences to consider political as well as economic and monetary union. But there were strong disagreements about the allocation of power between Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the Commission.

The draft was approved by the European Parliament in February 1984 (Spinelli plan), and would have increased the powers of the Commission and the Parliament, thereby reducing those of the Council. The aim was to promote supranationalism over intergovernmentalism was rejected for this reason: national governments preferred to maintain their sovereignty.
