Miss Europe

Shortly after World War II, the chairman of the French Committee of Elegance, Roger Zeiler, teamed with Claude Berr to set up a beauty contest open to all European countries. They established the Comite International Pour L'election de Miss Europe (International Committee for the election of Miss Europe) - Mondial Events Organisation.
 
The first Miss Europe contest was in 1948 in Paris, and thereafter were held in locations throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa.  It was not held in 1975, 1977, 1979, 1983, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1998, 2000 & 2004.

Claude Berr passed away in 1981, and in 2003 Roger Zeiler sold the license to Endemol, one of the biggest French production houses.
