 History, Politics and Institutions of the ECJohn Pinder Chapter 2 in Britain within the European Community, 1983, pp 21-40 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract On 9 May 1950 Robert Schuman, the French Foreign Minister, in launching his plan for pooling coal and steel production which resulted in the first European Community, explained that this was intended to be ‘the first concrete foundation of a European federation which is indispensable to the preservation of peace.’1 Two years later, at the inaugural session of the High Authority of the European Coal and Steel Community of which he was the first President, Jean Monnet developed this theme: “According to the methods of the past, even when the European States have been convinced of the necessity of a common action, even when they have set up an international organisation, they have kept their full sovereignty. Thus the international organisation can neither decide, nor execute, but only address recommendations to the States … Today, on the contrary, six Parliaments have decided, after mature deliberation and by massive majorities, to create the first European Community which merges a part of the national sovereignties and submits them to the common interest.
