Today is #EuropeDay!
It marks the anniversary of the 1950 Schuman Declaration, paving the way for even greater achievements in the decades that followed. Check out how we communicated about EU milestones through the years…
50 years ago, in 1968, we announced the creation of the #CustomsUnion with the aid of a well sharpened pencil and state-of-the-art technology. #EuropeDay
31 years ago, in 1987, we launched a student exchange programme: #Erasmus
All those years of mobility and cooperation have given Europe an open-minded and entrepreneurial generation of 9 million people. #EuropeDay
25 years ago, in 1993, we established the #SingleMarket, with the "four freedoms" at its heart: free movement of goods, capital, services and labour.
We proclaimed it with this video… and the typical look and feel of the ‘90s. #EuropeDay
16 years ago, in 2002, we celebrated the arrival of the euro in grand style with the motto “the €uro: the European Union in your hand”.
No special effects, but some impressive acrobatic skills. #EuropeDay
Of course we keep track of all these historic moments.
The archives service, created in 1983, takes care of these gems and makes them available for further use. #EuropeDay
To make a long story short, we’ve compiled Europe's greatest achievements for you in the form of emojis! #EuropeDay
