Europe Day - 75th anniversary

May 10th - Open Door Day for EU Institutions!  

On this day 75 years ago, then French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman delivered a historic speech that led to the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community so countries could share coal and steel production and make war ‘not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible’.

Promoting cooperation between nations and facilitating the post-war reconstruction of Europe, this milestone led the way to an economic community that would gradually become a political union.  May 10th marks the 75th anniversary of European integration and the EU Institutions all have open door days to celebrate!
