Europe Day is an annual celebration, commemorating peace and unity across Europe and marking the anniversary of the historic Schuman declaration of 1950.
Schuman’s proposal set out his ideas for a new form of political cooperation across Europe that would make war between neighbouring nations unthinkable. It was the beginning of what we now know, and value, as the European Union.
In Spain, and most EU countries, the EU flag is flown every day on public buildings, together with the Spanish, regional and local flags. It is a symbol of pride in our membership of the EU, and a daily reminder of the benefits of being part of the European family.
During the run up to Europe Day Bremain in Spain members and supporters shared their images of the European flag flying on buildings throughout Spain and Europe.
