Happy Europe Day 2025!

Every year on 9 May, we celebrate Europe Day, commemorating the signing of the 'Schuman Declaration' on 9 May 1950. The declaration was an ambitious plan to secure long-term peace in post-war Europe and is considered the beginning of what is now the EU. 

If you are in Luxembourg, we invite you to join the Europe Day event, tomorrow, 10 May, in Echternach. Eurostat will have a stand shared with colleagues from the statistical office of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). You can visit us between 12:00 and 18:00 (CEST). 

For those in Brussels, many EU institutions will open their doors to the public between 10:00 and 18:00 (CEST) on 10 May, namely the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission. Eurostat will have a stand in the Commission’s Berlaymont building, which we invite you to visit.
