Europe Day, which will be marked in Luxembourg with a handful of events on 13 and 14 May, celebrates peace and unity in Europe.

The date marks the anniversary of the historic Schuman declaration made by the French foreign minister during a speech in Paris in 1950.

In it Schuman set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable.
