The European Movement was founded at the 1948 Congress of Europe
by Sir Winston Churchill and other post-war leaders to bring about the economic, monetary
and political union of Europe. In the 1950’s and 1960’s, the all-party European
Movement led the “Britain in Europe” campaign and organised the massive
“Yes” vote in the 1975 referendum. It is an international organisation with
offices in 25 European countries and plays a significant role in both informing the
general public throughout Europe about the process of integration and in lobbying for
greater European unity. |
