May 9 became the historic day when the Schuman declaration was pronounced. In 1950 in Paris, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Robert Schuman, proposed in a speech the establishment of a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would remove forever the possibility of a new war breaking out between the nations of Europe. Although it started as an economic collaboration between two powerful states like France and Germany, several states would join the process of building a new Europe. Robert Schuman's proposal is considered to be the cornerstone of the European Union, a union in rights, freedoms and feelings.

To mark Europe Day, every year in May the institutions of the European Union in Brussels and Strasbourg open their doors to the general public. The local offices of the European Union around the world organize various activities and events, the extraordinary concert on the occasion of Europe Day on the stage of the Bucharest National Opera being one of them.
