The European Union - Intro 1950: the beginning Robert Schuman (Fr) & Jean Monnet (Fr): the chief architects of European construction Post WWII: need to bring France and Germany together – common institutional mechanism and interdependence and common economic integration Goal: a supranational Europe Supranational: refers to an organisation where power is given to a high authority (i.e. European Commission) which transcends national boundaries – power and influence are granted by national governments “United States of Europe” (Churchill 1946) Loss of sovereignty + transfer of competences and responsibilities

The European Union – Intro Coal and steel: the raw materials of war-making and also of industrial recovery Robert Schuman: French foreign minister Jean Monnet: economist (Commissaire au Plan) and diplomat Making war between France and Germany “not only unthinkable, but materially impossible” A daring and challenging idea – a “leap of faith” US influence Konrad Adenauer: German Chancellor April 1949: 4 April: North Atlantic Treaty creates NATO 8 April: new Federal Republic of Germany

The European Union – intro ‘Cold War’ – US v. USSR Industrial rehabilitation of Germany ‘Containment’ of the USSR 9 May 1950: Paris (Schuman) Declaration : birth of the European community "World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it." "Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity." "The pooling of coal and steel production... will change the destinies of those regions which have long been devoted to the manufacture of munitions of war, of which they have been the most constant victims.“ http://europa.eu/about-eu/basic-information/symbols/europe-day/schuman- declaration/index_en.htm
