С Днем Европы

Европейский Cоюз 9 мая отмечает годовщину декларации Шумана, которая ознаменовала начало европейского проекта.

Декларация Шумана была придумана министром иностранных дел Франции Робертом Шуманом 9 мая 1950 года. В ней предлагалось поставить во Франции и Германии производство угля и стали под единым Высшим органом власти. Эта организация была бы открыта для участия западноевропейских стран. Это сотрудничество должно было быть разработано таким образом, чтобы создать общие интересы между европейскими странами, которые привели бы к постепенной политической интеграции, условию умиротворения отношений между ними: «Европа не будет создана сразу или в соответствии с Единым планом. Она будет построена на основе конкретных достижений, которые вначале будут создавать де-факто солидарность. Объединение народов Европы требует ликвидации вековой оппозиции Франции и Германии".

Канцлер ФРГ Аденауэр быстро ответил положительным ответом, как и правительства Нидерландов, Бельгии, Италии и Люксембурга. В течение одного года, 18 апреля 1951 года, шесть членов-основателей подписали Парижский договор. Он создал Европейское сообщество угля и стали - первое в Европе наднациональное сообщество. Эта организация проложила путь Европейскому экономическому сообществу, а затем и Европейскому союзу.

Миссии и делегации Европейского Союза по всему миру проводят праздничные мероприятия по случаю Дня Европы.
