Date: 6 June 2023 Speaker: Klaas Knot Location: The 5th Annual Capital Markets Seminar, Luxembourg City Good morning everyone. Today is June 6th. A date of tremendous historical importance. The day that, exactly 79 years ago, marked the beginning of the end of the Second World War.
A day that you could see as the beginning of what we now know as the European Union. One of the founders of our Union was Robert Schuman. He was born just a stone’s throw from where we are today – right here, in Luxembourg City. What a bold man. A bold, but realistic man.
