On the 9th of May 1950, Robert Schuman presented his proposal on the
creation of an organised Europe, indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful
relations.
This proposal, known as the "
Schuman
declaration", is considered to be the beginning of the creation of
what is now the
European Union.
The 9th of May has become
Europe
Day and it is commemorated with celebrations and activities around
Europe.
Thus, the
Centre Balears Europa has
prepared a programme of activities called "Setmana Europea 2002" that will
be held from May 7 to 10 on Mallorca, Menorca and Eivissa.
