Why is this answer correct?
The joint commemoration in Verdun stands for reconciliation between Germany and France and for the goal of securing peace and security in Europe. England was not involved in this meeting, and freedom of travel and uniform public holidays are different EU matters.
Verdun 1984 = peace and reconciliation in Europe.
