History
25 Aug 1952, Luxembourg, following the proposal of Robert Schuman, 9 May 1950. The T-XT5133 - Treaty Establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (Treaty of Paris), which established the ECSC, was signed 18 Apr 1951, and ratified by the Parliaments of Belgium, France, Germany FR, Italy, Luxembourg and Netherlands between 31 Oct 1951 and 16 Jun 1952. The instrument of ratification was deposited on 25 Jul 1952. The 9-member High Authority, a body independent of national governments, set up in Aug 1952, had extensive powers to further the implementation of the Treaty. The establishment of ECSC was followed, 1 Jan 1958, by that of the then European Economic Community (EEC) - currently H-XD0665 - European Community - and of H-XD0666 - European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom), instituted by T-XT5765 - Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and T-XT5766 - Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community (Treaty of Rome), twin treaties both signed 25 Mar 1957. These 3 communities jointly comprise the H-XF0662 - European Communities (EC). The Paris Treaty provided for a transitional period of 5 years which expired on 10 Feb 1958. Following the 'Merger' Treaty of 8 Apr 1965, which came into force in Jul 1967, the Commission of the European Communities (a single Commission) superseded the High Authority of ECSC and the EEC and Euratom Commissions; and a single Council, the Council of the European Communities, came into existence. The T-XT8633 - Single European Act (SEA), signed Feb 1986, ratified by member parliaments by 31 Mar 1987, came into force 1 Jul 1987, amended and complemented the Paris and Rome Treaties. Following signature of T-XT9113 - Treaty on European Union (Maastricht Treaty), 7 Feb 1992, ECSC came within the framework of the F-XF2147 - European Union (EU), of which the European Communities comprise the first "pillar". Following a decision of E-XE7976 - European Council, 16-17 Jun 1997, Amsterdam (Netherlands), and under the terms of the T-XT9706 - Treaty of Amsterdam, signed 2 Oct 1997, the ECSC ceased to exist 23 Jul 2002, on expiration of its Treaty; the steel sector then coming under the EC Treaty.
