It began with coal and steel. But from the very start, our Union was always meant to be much more.
75 years ago, in Paris, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Europe chose a different path.
One of unity over division, of Peace over war.
The European Coal and Steel Community was never just an industrial project.
It was a project for peace in Europe.
A project for shared prosperity.
A project for strength and independence in a world of great power competition.
The very same purpose that still drives our Union today.

The European Union will always be a reliable partner, a defender of the rules-based international order, and upholder of the United Nations Charter.
In response to today’s unpredictable world, we are deepening our cooperation with like-minded democracies and enhancing our resilience - with 12 international summits in 2025 and 9 security & defence partnerships.
Our network of trade agreements - the world's most extensive - enhances our global influence, promotes multilateralism, and stabilises the international rules-based order.

“Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want”.
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
There is hope that this moment can open a path towards a free Iran. That is what the Iranian people deserve : freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future. But allow me to make one important point. Seeing the world as it is in no way diminishes our determination to fight for the world we want.

“We will always defend and uphold the rules-based order that we helped to build … but we can no longer rely on it as the only way to defend our interests or assume its rules will shelter us from the complex threats that we face”.
Ursula von der Leyen@vonderleyen
We can build a foreign policy that makes us stronger at home. More influential globally. And a better partner to countries around the world. That is a core pillar of European independence. That protects our interests and advances our values. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Let me tell you about my latest EU "Today I Learned".
In the European Parliament, there's an iconic bar called the Mickey Mouse. It's where you go relax and gossip over coffee, meet lobbyists/journalists, etc.
But WHY is it called Mickey Mouse ?
At the entrance, there's a painting depicting Mickey Mouse in a forest. I always assumed that the name was practical reference to that painting and the bar's cartoonish chairs. But it's actually much better.
It's called like that in reference (and mockery) to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who once called the European Parliament a "Mickey Mouse Parliament" due to its lack of power back then.
13 years in the EU Bubble and I still learn new random trivia.
