<p>The Schuman Declaration was presented by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950.</p>

<p>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 Foreign Affairs building on Quai d’Orsay in Paris was transformed into a press room and Robert Schuman gave his speech. Since 1985, Europe Day has been celebrated on 9 May every year.</p>

The Schuman Declaration 9 May 1950 stated: "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity." In 1950, the nations of Europe were still struggling to overcome the devastation wrought by World War II, which had ended 5 years earlier. The Schuman Declaration sought the creation of a single authority to control the production of steel and coal in France and West Germany (now Germany), to be opened for membership to other European countries. Determined to prevent another such terrible war, European governments concluded that pooling coal and steel production would, in the words of the Declaration, make war between historic rivals France and Germany "not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible".

Europe Day - Schuman Declaration Anniversary - 70 Years of Solidary: statement by David SASSOLI, EP President on the 9th May

The Schuman Declaration was presented by French Foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950 in Paris . "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity". It proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community, whose members would pool coal and steel production. The ECSC was an organisation of six European countries created to regulate their industrial production under a centralised authority. It was formally established in 1951 by the Treaty of Paris, signed by Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and West Germany. The ECSC started the process of formal integration which ultimately led to the European Union.
