Celebrating Europe Day

Europe Day is celebrated all over Europe every year on 9 May. It is the occasion for activities and festivities that bring Europe closer to its citizens and the peoples of the Union closer to one another.

Europe Day 2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the "Schuman declaration". On 9 May 1950 Robert Schuman presented his proposal on the creation of an organised Europe, indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations. The proposal, known as the "Schuman declaration", is considered to be the beginning of the creation of what is now the European Union
