It is Europe Day again. This day marks the origins of the European Union as a project for peace in Europe. The EU aims to contribute to peace and security and the sustainable development of the Earth (Article 2 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty.) It is the EU’s achievements in this area, we are convinced, that won the EU the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012. It is also why the EU is supporting peace efforts around the globe, including in Somalia, Ethiopia and South Sudan.
