Such multiple twinng was signed in 1958 to promote the European integration on the initiative of six cities from the six countries who founded the European Economic Community, created the year before with the Treaty of Rome. Nowadays the cooperation is focused on young people exchanges and on culture but also concerns urban and economic policies.
