70 Years of the Euro Parliament

28 June 2013

To mark the 70th anniversary of the European Parliament, King Philippe & Queen Mathilde hosted a reception at the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken for 100 representatives of the Euro Parliament.

King Philippe: "Your hemicycle is a European stage, in which minorities -and in Europe we are all minorities- come together to debate and persuade each other."

Belgium will preside the Council of the EU in 2024.
