Photo of Robert Schuman, standing in the centre, was taken on 20 June 1950, at the opening of the intergovernmental negotiations for the implementation of the Schuman Plan. It is generally used to illustrate the declaration of 9 May 1950 as no photographer was present at the original press conference.
