Nobel Peace Prize awarded to EU

By Xinhua in Oslo | China Daily | Updated: 2012-10-13 08:14

The European Union was awarded the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize for advancing "peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe", said Thorbjoen Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, on Friday.

Announcing this year's winner of the prize, Jagland said: "The union and its forerunners have for more than six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe."

Over a 70-year period, Germany and France had fought three wars, and today war between the two countries is unthinkable, the citation reads.

"This shows how, through well-aimed efforts and by building up mutual confidence, historical enemies can become close partners."

After reviewing the recent history of EU integration and the plan to admit more members in the coming years, the citation said that the bloc "is currently undergoing grave economic difficulties and considerable social unrest".

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that it wishes to focus on what it sees as the EU's most important result: The successful struggle for peace and reconciliation, and for democracy and human rights.

Norway is not an EU member. But the country was closely associated with the EU through an arrangement known as the European Economic Area agreement.

While the committee was receiving overwhelming support for its decision from outside Norway, EU opponents in the country openly expressed their anger with it.

Audun Lysbakken, leader of the Socialist Left Party, one of the three ruling coalition partners, said that he sees the award as the wrong prize at the wrong time.

Turning the peace prize into a political prize in Norway is "unfortunate", Lysbakken told a Norwegian-language online news service.

One EU opponent on the committee, Aagot Valle, was unable to participate in the evaluation and decision process this year, reportedly due to illness.
