Written Ministerial Statement: Celebrating the 50^th Anniversary of the Treaties of Rome

 

Please find enclosed a Written Ministerial Statement that I made on 12 March about events to mark the 50^th Anniversary of signing of the Treaties of Rome.[1]

 

As this statement sets out, EU Heads of State and Government will mark the Anniversary at an Informal meeting in Berlin on 25 March, and there will be an accompanying political declaration. There will also be a range of events taking place across the UK. In addition, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the British Council, supported by the Department for Education and Skills, are launching "Learning Together" - a new initiative to encourage partnerships between schools in the UK and Europe.
