Today, on 9 May we commemorate the 76th anniversary of the ‘Schuman Declaration’, a historic milestone towards the project of 🕊️ freedom, 🤝 unity and ⚖️ shared democratic values that millions of Europeans enjoy today.
Though technology has radically changed since 1950, the values of unity and cooperation that inspired Robert Schuman then remain at the core of our mission: to safeguard privacy as an essential condition for human dignity.
Let’s trace the roots of Europe Day back. Through one of the first attempts to protect people’s personal data in a digitalising world.
We are proud and grateful to continue this legacy by championing data protection as a cornerstone of European values every day.
🎈 Happy Europe Day everyone!
