Letter to the Chairman of the Committee
from Rt Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Minister of State for Europe
WRITTEN MINISTERIAL STATEMENT: CELEBRATING
THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE TREATIES OF ROME
Please find enclosed a Written Ministerial Statement
that I made on 12 March about events to mark the 50th 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.
