World peace cannot be safeguarded without creative efforts commensurate with the dangers that threaten it. The contribution that an organised and vibrant Europe can make to civilisation is indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations.' These are the words of the Schuman Declaration of 9 May 1950, taken up by Jean-Dominique Giuliani, to remind Europeans that the achievements of the European Union do not prevent international instability, long forgotten. In the midst of this uncertainty, Europe remains a global benchmark for democracy and the rule of law in response to the rise of extremism and populism within its borders. It must therefore show itself to be strong and uphold its values in the face of global challenges.

From 6th to 9th June 2024, Europeans were invited to elect their 720  Members of the European Parliament for the next five years oh the 10th legislatiure.  he Robert Schuman Foundation has set up a website to help you better understand the results, the elected MEPs and the composition of the poticial groups,the issues at stake, as well as the workings, role and history of the European Parliament.  It details the composition of the parliamentary committees and allows you to follow the hearings of the commissioners.
