On 29 October 2004, in the Hall of the Horatii and Curiatii on the Capitoline Hill, the heads of state and government of the 25 member states of the European Union signed the treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe: the same hall where, on 25 March 1957, the six founding countries had signed the Treaties of Rome, the birth certificate of the European Community.
A day of state
The ceremony brought delegations from all over Europe to Rome: Belgium opened the signatures with Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, the United Kingdom closed them with Tony Blair. The then candidate countries, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey, also signed the Final Act. An imposing organisational machine: protocol, security, hospitality and communication coordinated at the highest possible level.
What it says about us
Taking part in the organisation of a day of this weight testifies to the team’s ability to work alongside institutions at the highest level, with the protocols, confidentiality and precision that an affair of state demands. It is the institutional soul of Seaprom, the same one it offers today to federations, public bodies and administrations.
