INTRODUCERE
Pe data de 9 mai este sarbatorita Ziua Europei, de catre toate
tarile Uniunii Europene, aceasta zi fiind considerata punctul de
pornire al constructiei europene.
Pe 9 mai 1950 ministrul de externe al Frantei, Robert Schuman,
propunea un plan bazat pe o idee cat se poate de simpla: punerea
sub control comun a industriilor de razboi ale Frantei si Germaniei
astfel incat nici unul dintre aceste state sa nu se poata pregati de
razboi. La aceasta idee au aderat imediat si Italia, Belgia, Olanda si
Luxemburg.
Succesul acestui proiect rezida din afirmarea valorilor europene
comune de pace, progres si solidaritate. In prezent obiectivul major al
Uniunii este sa construiasca o Europa care sa respecte libertatea si
identitatea tuturor popoarelor care o alcatuiesc. Europa va putea sa
isi controleze destinul si sa joace un rol important in lume numai
unindu-si popoarele.
Tarile fondatoare ale Uniunii Europene Sunt: Franta, Germania,
Olanda, Belgia, Luxemburg si Italia insa numarul statelor membre a
crescut in mai multe etape. In 1973 s-au alaturat Marea Britanie,
Irlanda si Danemarca, in 1981 Grecia, iar Spania si Portugalia in anul
1986. In 1995 numarul membrilor a ajuns la 15 prin includerea
Austriei, Finlandei si Suediei. Un val de extindere fara precedent are
loc la 1 mai 2004 cand 10 state adera la Uniune: Cipru, Estonia,
Letonia, Lituania, Malta, Poloniaa, Republica Ceha, Slovacia,
Slovenia si Ungaria.
La 26 mai 1986, drapelul albastru cu 12 stele a devenit drapelul
oficial al Comunitatii Europene. Stelele, care reprezinta popoarele
Europei, formeaza un cerc, simbol al Uniunii. Numarul lor, invariabil
12, simbolizeaza perfectiunea si plenitudinea. Numarul stelelor
nefiind legat de numarul statelor, drapelul nu va fi modificat cu ocazia
extinderilor viitoare ale Uniunii.
“Oda bucuriei” a fost adoptata ca imn european in iunie 1985 la
Milano.
La 1 ianuarie 1999 euro a devenit moneda unica europeana.
Incepand cu 4 mai 2000 Europa are si o deviza “Unitate in
diversitate”
Romania si Bulgaria au reusit, dupa eforturi considerabile, sa
intre in marea familie europeana la 1 ianuaria 2007.
INTRODUCTION
On May 9, all European countries celebrate Europe’s Day,
which is considered the starting point for the European construction.
On May 9, 1950 France’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert
Schuman, suggested a plan based on a simple idea: placing under
common control the war industries of France and Germany so that
neither one of these countries could secretly prepare for war. The
idea was immediately embraced by Italy, Belgium, Holand and
Luxemburg.
The success of the project consists in the statement of common
european values such as peace, progress and solidarity. Today, the
main objective of the Union is to buid an Europe which respects the
liberty and identity of all countries that form it. Europe can control it’s
destiny and can play an important role only by unitting it’s nations.
The founding countries of the European Union are: France,
Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Luxemburg but the number of
the members increased in seversl stages. In 1973 Great Britain,
Ireland and Danemark joined in, in 1981 Greece, then Spain and
Portugal in 1986. in 1995 the number of the members reached 15 by
including Austria, Finland and Sweden. An important extension wave
took place on May 1, 2004 when 10 countries joined the Union: Cipru,
Estonia, Letonia, Lituania, Malta, Polland, the Czech Republic,
Slovacia, Slovenia and Hungary.
On May 26, 1986, the blue flag with 12 stars became the official
flag of the European Community. The stars, which represent
Europe’s nations, form a cyrcle, the symbol of union. Their number,
always 12, symbolises perfection and plenitude. The number of the
stars, not being related to the number of the countries, the flag will
not be modified during future extensions of the Union.
“The ode of joy” was adopted as European anthem on July
1985 I Milano.
On January 1, 1999, euro became the official european
currency.
Starting with May 4, 2000 Europe also has a motto: “Unity in
diversity”.
Romania and Bulgaria succeded, after considerable efforts, to
join the great European family, on January 1, 2007.
