ECSC (European Coal and Steel Community) An alliance originating in proposals made by Jean
Monnet and announced by Robert
Schuman on 9 May 1950, which called for the placement of coal and steel production in West Germany and France under joint control. This surrender of national sovereignty in sensitive economic areas which had been at the heart of the armaments industry in the two World Wars helped significantly overcome western European security concerns in the immediate postwar world. It led to the creation of the ECSC through the Treaty of Paris on 18 April 1951 (effective from 1952), which comprised Belgium, France, Italy, Luxemburg, the Netherlands, and West Germany. It was governed by a High Authority, which in turn came under the control of a Council of Ministers delegated from each member state. The High Authority was further advised by a general assembly made up of parliamentarians from the member states. Finally, the clauses of the Treaty of Paris were guarded by a High Court. The
ECSC became the nucleus of
European integration. Its institutions provided models for the
European Commission, the Council of Ministers, the
European Parliament, and the
European Court of Justice.
