Comment du Jour

Happy Europe Day!!






New York's iconic Empire State building bathed in the  blue and gold colors of the
European Union (EU).

On 9 May 1950, French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman presented his proposal to create in united European coal and steel community.   The proposal would both integrate commerce and encourage peaceful relations among member states. 

The Schuman Declaration is viewed as the first step to create what emerged  as an economic pact known as the Common Market, later the European Community, and today the European Union.
