The Schuman Declaration was presented by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950.

​​​​​​​ 
It proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community, whose members would pool coal and steel production. 
The ECSC (founding members: France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) was the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today's "European Union".

On 9 May 1950, the Salon de l’Horloge in the French Ministry of&nbsp;Foreign Affairs building on Quai d’Orsay in Paris was transformed into a press room. At 18:00, Robert Schuman gave his speech. Since 1985, Europe Day has been celebrated on 9 May every year.

On Europe Day 2020, the EU institutions want to pay tribute through numerous online activities to the many Europeans who, in a spirit of solidarity, are helping our Union get through the coronavirus crisis.

Saturday 9 May is Europe Day, which this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Schuman declaration. Although it is unable to organise physical events for visitors to enjoy because of the coronavirus, Parliament is offering a full day of virtual programmes including Facebook lives and an online exhibition.
