Happy #EuropeDay to you, dear citizens of Europe! Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity. ~ Robert Schuman, 9th of May 1950 --- The Schuman Declaration was presented by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950. It proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community, whose members would pool coal and steel production. The ECSC (founding members: France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) was the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become todays European Union.
