EU to accept Nobel Peace Prize
European Union leaders were scheduled December 10 to formally
receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Radio Liberty reported.
At the ceremony in Oslo, Nobel committee chairman Thorbjoern
Jagland was expected to hand the award, worth $1.2 million, to top
EU officials.
About 20 European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, were also expected

In October, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced it was awarding
the 2012 prize to the EU, whose forerunner was formed in 1951, for
fostering peace on a continent that had been ravaged by wars.
