🇪🇺 75 Years of the Schuman Declaration 🇪🇺 On 9 May 1950, Robert Schuman put forward a bold idea: unite Europe by pooling coal and steel production to make war ‘not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible.’ ‘Europe will not be made all at once ... It will be built through concrete achievements.’ This moment planted the seed of today’s European Union, laying the foundations for peace and prosperity 🕊️ 75 years on, the Declaration’s message of unity and solidarity resonates as much as ever. Together we are stronger!
