That is the President's agenda. Announcements each year.

Tomorrow, 9 May, Europeans will celebrate Europe Day.

We will also mark the seventy-sixth anniversary of the Schuman Declaration,

which forged an unprecedented era of peace, democracy, prosperity, integration, and cooperation across the continent.

In 2026,

Europe Day also marks two additional milestones 40 years since Portugal and Spain joined the EU and 40 years since the first official Europe Day celebrations.

In a rapidly changing and challenging world, this will be a very good moment to reiterate the importance of our sense of community and purpose,

working to protect democracy, boost prosperity, and strengthen security.

This is matched by Europeans' views,

and ahead of Europe Day we are releasing today a new Eurobarometer survey that shows that nearly three quarters of Europeans believe that their country has benefited from being a member of the European Union.

75% say they feel they are citizens of the European Union,

matching the highest level ever recorded in spring 2025.

And last element on this, 73% of Europeans view the EU as a stabilizing force.

You have a press release with all the details on this in case you are interested.

In addition, as every year, the Commission, along with the other European institutions and bodies,

will be opening its doors tomorrow for a series of events offering information about their activities.

Our very own Berlaymont will be open as of 10 o'clock tomorrow,

giving all visitors a chance to learn more about the work we do here and also to visit our press room.

There will be many events, illuminations,

and other symbolic actions that will happen across the member states and around the world to commemorate Europe Day.

We hope you will be able to participate and enjoy these events.

There's also a daily news item on this, so in case you're interested, check it out.
