Treaties, common market, Euratom : outdated terms, from the past or exciting ? Archives exist not only to preserve, but above all to reawaken the past and prepare to build the future. For more than 30 years we have been preserving the memory of the European Commission and making it available to the interested public. In the archives, you can find treasures and surprises!
