United in diversity
31 Dec 2015
Just as Britain has its motto "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Evil to him who evil thinks), Europe too has a motto, first used in 2000, “United in diversity”. This sums up perfectly how the European Union unites all our different cultures, traditions and languages. When one sits in the chamber of the lower house of the European parliament with representatives from 28 different states one fully appreciates how much our forebears achieved bringing us together to work for peace and prosperity. United in diversity sums all of this up - see it translated into each language here.
