“Look how far we have come, together.”
On #EuropeDay, we join the European Parliament in celebrating the Schuman Declaration.

EIF remains committed to open dialogue and shared values - the foundations of a stronger Europe. 🇪🇺 Peace, unity, and democracy are worth holding onto.
It's been 75 years since the Schuman Declaration.

On 9 May 1950, in a continent still recovering from World War II, French foreign minister Robert Schuman proposed uniting coal and steel industries to rebuild peace and foster solidarity. It was the first step toward today’s EU 🇪🇺
