European Union Wins Nobel Peace Prize!
As a fitting testament to fostering reconciliation, keeping the peace, and promoting prosperity, the EU has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway.
Thus despite the Euro currency crisis and debt burden in many member countries, the Prize reflects the positive optimism that the EU, as part of Europe's post-war political architecture and economic structure, remains a crucial player.
The 27 member EU has evolved from the old Common Market into a modern multi-national organization.
In a New York reception celebrating the Nobel for Peace, not economics as some jibed, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon praised the EU as a positive global force.
