About us - European Documentation Centre
The former Faculty of Law llibrary was awarded the status of a European Documentation Centre (EDC) in October 1991. EDCs are set up in selected universities by the European Commission and act as repositories of official EU information. Helping universities and research institutes to promote and develop education and research on European integration, encouraging them to take part in the debate on Europe and to do what they can to make Europe more transparent by helping ordinary citizens to learn about the Union's policies: these are the main aims of the network of European Documentation Centres (EDCs).
The collection of the EDC focuses on EU legislation, the work of the Institutions, and on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.
