..European Union - about


Halina Bednarz 2006-12-09


The European Union (EU) is a family of democratic European countries, committed to working together for peace and prosperity. Since its foundation nearly 50 years ago, the EU has been a magnet, attracting a constant stream of new members, culminating in its historic and successful expansion from 15 to 25 in May 2004.

2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome.

The EU symbols



The European flag
The 12 stars in a circle symbolise the ideals of perfection, completeness and unity.

The European anthem
The melody comes from the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven. When this tune is used as the European anthem, it has no words.

Europe Day, 9 May
The ideas behind what is now the European Union were first put forward on 9 May 1950 in a speech by the French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman. So 9 May is celebrated each year as the EU’s birthday.

"United in diversity"
This is the motto of the EU.
