In the European Union, democracy may seem obvious to us today. But this has not always been the case. Not so long ago, millions of Europeans lived through times when they could not vote or even speak up freely. When their very lives could be in danger simply for being different, for holding different beliefs or for wanting a different life. Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come. The most effective way to do so is by voting - because the more people vote, the stronger democracy becomes. On June 6-9 2024: Use your vote or others will decide for you.

Belgium is a founding member of the European Union

Belgium is member of the Schengen area since 26 March 1995 and of the Eurozone since 1 January 1999.

The country's capital, Brussels, is together with Luxembourg City and Strasbourg, one of the three official seats of the European institutions. Belgium is a constitutional monarchy in which the King is head of state and the Prime Minister is the head of the government.

EU - Belgium

The Schuman Declaration was presented by French foreign minister Robert Schuman on 9 May 1950.

​​​​​​​ 
It proposed the creation of a European Coal and Steel Community, whose members would pool coal and steel production. 
The ECSC (founding members: France, West Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) was the first of a series of supranational European institutions that would ultimately become today's "European Union".

On 9 May 1950, the Salon de l’Horloge in the French Ministry of&nbsp;Foreign Affairs building on Quai d’Orsay in Paris was transformed into a press room. At 18:00, Robert Schuman gave his speech. Since 1985, Europe Day has been celebrated on 9 May every year.
