Aiming to secure peace in Europe after the horrors of the Second World War, the Schuman Declaration proposed cooperation among European countries in two key economic areas central to rearmament and warfare: coal and steel. As an institutional framework for this cooperation, the Schuman Declaration proposed the creation of the first supranational organisation in Europe, the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). Established in 1952, the ECSC laid the foundations for today's European Union (EU). The Schuman Declaration is therefore seen as the EU's founding act. Presented by the French Foreign Minister, Robert Schuman, on 9 May 1950, the anniversary of this key date in European integration is marked on 9 May each year in the EU.

The analysis explores the competitiveness of European banks compared to their US counterparts. It highlights structural differences between the two systems, particularly Europe’s reliance on traditional bank intermediation versus US’s market-based model. European banks generally lag in profitability and market valuations, but remain central to credit provision and financial inclusion across the EU. US banks have benefitted from more favourable macroeconomic scenarios. At the same time, recent improvements in European bank’s profitability and efficiency are driven by temporary macro factors, raising concerns about sustainability. The study emphasises the need for regulatory harmonisation, capital market development, and integration to enhance the competitiveness and resilience of Europe’s banking sector. It also stresses the importance of considering both quantitative and qualitative indicators to better capture banks’ contributions to the economy and overall welfare.

In 1958, Robert Schuman was elected president of the European Parliamentary Assembly, predecessor to the European Parliament. This French politician, who was particularly sensitive to the tensions between France and Germany, is regarded as one of the 'founding fathers' of what is now the European Union. After the Second World War, he supported the establishment of the Council of Europe and helped to bring many other European projects to fruition. With his declaration of 9 May 1950, considered the founding act of the European integration process, Robert Schuman assumed political responsibility for a common coal and steel market that would later become the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC). The declaration underlines the role of France in building a strong, prosperous and peaceful Europe, starting with France and Germany. Going far beyond mere objectives, the declaration also sets out the precise basis upon which the negotiations should begin. Robert Schuman was president of the European Parliamentary Assembly from 1958 to 1960. This institution was the political institution par excellence of the Communities: at once a democratic organ representing the peoples of Europe, a body invested with the power of executive scrutiny, and a unifying element between the three Communities. Highly influenced by Christian values, Robert Schuman campaigned to build a strong and united Europe step by step, and to establish institutionalised solidarity between European countries. Robert Schuman's legacy continues to influence and shape the European Union to this day. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

Musk’s embrace of Trump and right-wing politics has turned off many Democrats and independents, hurting his car company and his personal brand.

It remains unclear how Trump’s tariff forecast that “maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls” will play out politically.

His choreographed claims of success belie the evidence that Trump is in the midst of what could be the most damaging week so far of his second term.

What would you do if your car was next to a vehicle which was on fire?  For one man, his first instinct was to save it.  A video uploaded to Facebook group Roads.sg on Friday (May 2) showed a parked vehicle up in flames along McNair Road.  A man then appears to get into the Honda Civic parked next to the burning vehicle, driving it away from the fire. This was despite warnings from Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and Singapore Police Force officers who could be heard in the video signalling and shouting for the man to «go away». A voice behind the camera could also be heard exclaiming, «Crazy fella».  After the driver exits the parking lot and comes to a stop, police officers can be seen approaching the car, with one banging on the passenger-side door and telling the driver to «come out first». The video caption stated that the Honda Civic owner was allegedly not wearing any pants during the incident. In a response to AsiaOne's queries, SCDF said they were alerted to a fire at Block 111 McNair Road on May 1 at about 8pm.
