Update on Archive of European Integration (AEI) activities:
The AEI http://aei.pitt.edu, situated at the University Library System,
University of Pittsburgh, currently includes over 500 full text working,
discussion or policy papers, small monographs, electronic journal
articles, freely available to anyone. The AEI has about 200 more titles
waiting processing and remains an open platform for scholarly contributions.
Now AEI is launching a companion archive of official European
Community/European Union documents. It will contain "primary sources" or
official documents, produced by EC/EU institutions or committees, the
Member States, or statements by EU and Member State officials, and not
available on any EU websites. The focus, at the initial stage, is on
documents providing basic information on the development and
implementation of Community policies. For more information, interested
parties can consult the Contents and/or the Archive of European
Integration - Official European Union Documents (AEI-EU) page on the AEI
Home Page.
Progress so far: over 400 documents are now available including:
All Green Papers, White Papers and related preparatory or follow-up
papers that could be identified;
Documents on the development of the economic and monetary union from
1958 to the mid-1990s;
Anti-dumping and anti-countervailing activity reports;
Opinions, reports and studies relating to the first three enlargements;
Those hard to find reports by eminent persons: Spaak, Dooge, Sutherland,
Tindemans etc.
Plans for future uploading: several thousand documents will be added
over time. Among the documents which have already been selected and
scanned are:
Annual Financial Report concerning the European Agricultural Guidance
and Guarantee Fund - 1-27, 1971-1997
Annual Report Cohesion Financial Instrument - 1993/1994 to 1996
Annual Report on the European Regional Development Fund - 1-14, 1975-1988
Annual Report on the Implementation of the Reform of the Structural

Annual Report on the Activities of the new European Social Fund - 1-17,
1971-1988

Regional Policy - various Commission and EP documents.
Summits - records of meetings and related documents for the Heads of
State or Government (1961-1974) and European Council meetings (1975-1994).
Anyone interested in contributing documents to the archive - or
suggesting documents which might be appropriate - should contact Phil
Wilkin, AEI Editor, by e-mail. [log in to unmask]
TIP: for those of you interested in particular subject or policy areas,
the easiest way to find documents is through the Browse function, then
select either Subject or EU Subject. ALL documents in the AEI will be
listed in one of these guides.
Sincerely,
Phil Wilkin, AEI Editor
