Europe Day celebrates the EU’s achievements – lasting peace, economic cooperation and border-free travel. It is also a chance to find out more about the EU, with events and activities for all ages.
On 9 May 1950, Robert Schuman, France’s foreign minister, called on France, Germany and other European countries to pool their production of coal and steel.
This was the first move towards the creation of what is now known as the European Union – 27 countries united in their respect for freedom and the rule of law while recognising and valuing the diversity of EU citizens. The anniversary of Schuman’s declaration is celebrated as Europe Day.
Open day at EU HQ
On Saturday 12 May, the EU’s various institutions will mark the anniversary by opening their doors to the public.
Events were held around Europe.
