Europe Day, which takes place on 9 May each year, celebrates peace and unity in Europe. This date marks the anniversary of the historic "Schuman Declaration". During a speech in Paris in 1950, Robert Schuman, then French Minister for Foreign Affairs, explained his idea of a new form of political cooperation in Europe that would make any war between European nations. His vision was to create a European institution that would put jointly and would administer the production of coal and steel. A treaty creating such a body has was signed in the year after the speech. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is today the European Union.
