The award of the Noble Peace Prize to the European Union









''Dear colleagues,
It was with great emotion that I received the news of the award of the Noble Peace Prize to the European Union. It is a great honour for the European Union to be awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace prize by the Nobel Peace prize committee.
I am particularly proud of the role that the European Commission has played in shaping a new and strong Europe. All the people that have worked for this institution over the last 60 years can see this as their award, for the commitment and work that they have delivered on behalf of Europe. You can all be proud today.,'' JOSE MANUEL BARROSO
