TeamEurope delivers a message for Europe Day in Georgia

09/05/2020
 

The EU, its Member States, the European Investment Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development are coming together in a Team Europe response to assist Georgia especially during the Covid crisis.

Today is Europe Day. Today we commemorate and celebrate a Declaration presented by French foreign minister Robert Schuman exactly 70 years ago. The Declaration was a call to end the logic of war on the European continent for a vision of peace, prosperity, and cooperation between European nations.

70 years later, this vision has developed into a peaceful and prosperous European Union currently made up of 27 countries with 450 million citizens. And we are proud to extend this spirit of solidarity to a close partner like Georgia, especially in this time of crisis. 
Europe Day is a reminder that we are all Stronger Together. The European Union, its Member States and institutions are working for a stronger Europe, a stronger Georgia and for stronger EU-Georgia relations.
We are Team Europe in Georgia, and today is Europe Day!
