On Saturday 9Th May, Brussels Celebrates Europe Day 65 Th Anniversary of the Schuman Declaration European Institutions’ Open Doors Day 2015 ON SATURDAY 9TH MAY, BRUSSELS CELEBRATES EUROPE DAY TH 65 ANNIVERSARY OF THE SCHUMAN DECLARATION EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS’ OPEN DOORS DAY 2015 “The contribution which an organised and living Europe can bring to civilisation is indispensable to the maintenance #EUopendoors of peaceful relations.” Robert Schuman, 9.05.1950, 65th anniversary On Saturday 9th May, the European Institutions will open their doors to the general public in order to celebrate Europe Day in a fun and festive way for the whole family. 9th May will mark the 65th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, which is regarded as the key event in the creation of a united Europe. The central theme of this 23rd edition will be the European Year for Development, a fi eld in which the European Institutions do a considerable amount of work supporting and initiating key projects in the areas of development aid and the fi ght against poverty. The European Parliament, the European Council, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Economic and Social Committee, the European Committee of the Regions and the European External Action Service will open the doors of their iconic buildings to more than 20,000 visitors, giving them the opportunity to gain a better understanding of how the institutions operate and to learn about the issues the institutions deal with in their day-to-day work on behalf of Europe’s citizens. Some symbolic concepts The Schuman Declaration: 65 years of peace and unity On 9th May 1950, Robert Schuman made a declaration that would change the very nature of Europe. The politician, who was the French Foreign Affairs Minister at the time, called for France and West Germany to pool ownership of their coal and steel industries together with other European countries. Although by today’s standards this may seem a rather modest endeavour, it nonetheless laid the foundations for a united and peaceful Europe. The six member states of the European Coal and Steel Community were making a historic move in order to prevent further devastating wars, after Europe had been left scarred by these distressing events twice in the fi rst half of the 20th century. Over 60 years later, this small Community has developed into the European Union, a family of 28 independent and democratic states, with 507 million citizens living in peace and stability: unprecedented in the history of the continent. 9th May 1950 marked the beginning of our shared adventure: an adventure which has been both exciting and benefi cial. This year, on the same date, we will celebrate Europe Day, remembering the journey we have been on together. BRUSSELS CELEBRATES EUROPE DAY EUROPEAN INSTITUTIONS’ OPEN DOORS DAY 2015 Open Doors Day at the EU Institutions As well as commemorating a historic event, Europe Day is an opportunity to further promote transparency and encourage closer ties between the European Union and its citizens. The European Institutions open their doors and give the citizens the chance to discover their daily work. By letting people go behind the scenes, visit the Chamber where the EU’s elected representatives hold their debates, see the Council’s negotiation rooms and the room where the Commission meets, and meet the social partners and representatives of civil society, the Open Doors Day serves to demystify these «decision-making places» so that people can see them in a different light. Alongside this classic open-day format, there is a wide range of activities throughout the day for those who would like to find out more about the central theme of the European Year, which in 2015 is development cooperation. 2015: The European Year for Development The European Union Institutions have proclaimed 2015 the “European Year for Development”. The European Union and its Member States give nearly €60 billion per year for humanitarian and development aid, over half of global spending in these areas. Thanks to support provided by the Union, 14 million children now have access to primary education and sanitary facilities were provided for 25 million people between 2004 and 2012. By investing in developing countries, the Union can help keep in check threats to global security that arise from poverty, disease and climate change. During the Open Doors Day in Brussels, the European Institutions will organise a range of activities based on the theme of cooperation for development. Detailed programme A detailed programme of the European Institutions’ Open Doors Day is enclosed. The press contacts for each individual institution are listed underneath the programme of activities.

Son père, Paul Spaak (1870-1936), avocat de formation, brille dans le monde de la dramaturgie. Sa mère, Marie Janson, est la fille de Paul Janson, le puissant tribun libéral progressiste, à la pointe du combat pour le suffrage universel, et la sœur du ministre Paul-Emile Janson. Elue au Sénat dès 1921, Marie Spaak-Janson sera la première femme parlementaire de Belgique. Docteur en droit de l’Université de Bruxelles (1921), Paul-Henri Spaak acquiert une notoriété précoce en plaidant brillamment des causes retentissantes comme celle de l’anarchiste De Rosa, auteur d’un attentat manqué contre le prince Umberto d’Italie, fiancé de la princesse Marie-José, en 1929. Engagé en politique au sein du Parti ouvrier belge (P.O.B.) où il fait ses armes en tant que chef de cabinet adjoint du ministre Joseph Wauters, chargé du travail et de la prévoyance sociale (1925-1927), il s’y montre un pacifiste résolu, prend des positions perçues comme révolutionnaires par nombre de ses pairs, au point de frôler l’exclusion de son parti. Cela ne l’empêche pas d’entamer une carrière politique nationale qui s’avère prometteuse. Elu représentant de l’arrondissement de Bruxelles dès 1932, il entre trois ans plus tard dans le premier gouvernement Van Zeeland, assumant durant quinze mois les fonctions de ministre des transports et des P.T.T. En 1936, il accède pour la première fois au ministère des affaires étrangères dans Paul-Henri Spaak, Ministre des un contexte politique européen difficile marqué par la montée des extrémismes de droite comme de gauche.

It demonstrates how the Parliament fulfilled key functions in the process of constitutionalization of the present-day European Union. These functions included defining a set of criteria for effective and democratic governance, developing legal concepts such as subsidiarity, and pressurising the Member States into accepting greater institutional deepening and more powers for the Parliament in the Single European Act and the Maastricht Treaty.

    NEWSSHEET FOR JOURNALISTS • REPRODUCTION AUTHORIZED No 42/80 BRUSSELS, 15th December 1980 Week of 8 to 13 December REGIONS: Imbalances worsen - In 1970, the per capita Gross Domestic Product was 2.9 times higher in the Community's most developed regions than in the most backward areas. In 1977, this ratio had become 4 to 1. These figures illustrate an evident aggravation in regional imbalances within the Community, a fact which has been highlighted by a new report drawn up by European Commission experts. The main reasons for these imbalances are related to the structural make-up of the regions themselves: demographic trends, production levels, the standards of workers, etc. But it is clear that the economic crisis has also added to the impact of these structural differences. Finally, it would seem that certain Community policies have also had a negative impact in certain regions. The Commission will soon draw up a series of proposals establishing the priorities and guidelines for the Community's regional policy. The framework regulation for the European Regional Development Fund will also be revised next year.
