#20YearsTogether 🇪🇺

Twenty years ago, our European family grew bigger

With the enlargement of 2004, the EU became a bigger political, economic & cultural entity – creating more opportunities for citizens across our Union.

Tonight, our building displays bright colours to celebrate #20YearsTogether

Ten countries joined the EU 20 years ago today.

This enlargement – the EU’s largest ever – also brought the total number of official EU languages to 20.

So we asked colleagues from those countries to tell us in their own language what the EU means to them.

These young people represent a generation that has only ever known the European Union 🇪🇺

This is because 20 years ago, they were born around the time their country joined the EU, as part of its biggest ever enlargement.

How do you remember 1 May 2004? Let us know 👇

During today's celebration of the 20th anniversary of the 2004 EU enlargement, a large EU flag and the 10 flags of the countries which joined 20 years ago was lifted in Cinquantenaire Park in Brussels.

Here, President Ursula von der Leyen is seen with the #Cyprus flag.

Twenty years ago the big 🇪🇺 #enlargement . We celebrate and we look forward. #StrongerTogether Jacques Delors Institute

Enlargement is a cornerstone of our strategic sovereignty. And both candidate countries and EU institutions have a lot of work to do.
 
We must be ready, on both sides, by 2030 to enlarge.
