EUROOPA PAEV 9. Mai 2012

EUROOPA PAEV 

 Europe Day celebrates the EU’s achievements – not least, 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.
