AlQa'dah 26, 1433, Oct 12, 2012, SPA -- French President Francois Hollande said the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the European Union was an "immense honor" which committed EU leaders to pursue a "more united, fairer, stronger Europe that bears peace." "Through this award, every European can feel pride, that of being a member of a union which has been able to make peace between peoples who for a long time clashed, and to build a community founded on values of democracy, liberty and solidarity," the French presidency said in a statement. But it also meant that Europe had an "even greater responsibility" now to "preserve its unity, its capacity to promote growth and employment and the solidarity that it must show towards its members,"
