Summary: Robert Schuman's declaration of 9 May 1950 was the catalyst for the construction of Europe and even today remains surprisingly topical. It was this declaration which, 50 years ago, sealed the peace between countries which had fought each other in two world wars. It paved the way for the European Communities. As we enter the third millennium, the European Union has come of age and is preparing for a new phase of enlargement which will determine its destiny along with that of the whole continent. It is the right time for anyone who wishes to examine the beginnings of this epoch-making organisation, to look how far we have come and distil the lessons for the next phases. |
