Today (3 October) is “German Unity Day“, which commemorates the reunification of the “two Germanies” after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 when the former Communist East Germany joined the free West Germany. (This day has been an official German National Holiday since 3 October 1990, when reunification was formally completed.) Question: Is there an equivalent “European Union Day” to celebrate the formation of Europe’s unified common market?
