How
to obtain or apply for documents in the EU
There are three ways to get documents from the main EU institutions
- the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and
the European Parliament: i) by applying in writing/fax/e-mail
to the institution; ii) searching the institutions' public register
of documents (currently only the Council has such a register,
the Commission and European Parliament have until June 2002 to
provide one) or iii) searching the main website of the institution.
