The Porto Metropolitan Area joins the celebration of Europe Day, in the Justus Lipsius Building, at the Council of the European Union.

Europe Day held on 9 May every year celebrates peace and unity in Europe. The date marks the anniversary of the historic “Schuman declaration” that set out his idea for a new form of political cooperation in Europe, which would make war between Europe's nations unthinkable. Schuman's proposal is considered to be the beginning of what is now the European Union.
