Custodial History

The EUI and Agence Europe have undersigned an Agreement on 12/07/2018 that allowed the EUI Library to digitise:
- the Bulletin CECA continued by Bulletin quotidien Europe and Supplements in French, from 1953 to 1999;
- the Daily Bulletin, from 1979 to 1999, and Supplements in English: Election Special; Eurosynt; Economic Interpenetration in Europe and the Rest of the World; Brief Notes; Atlantic News.
The French volumes of the Bulletin Quotidien Europe were thus transferred from the Agence Europe headquarters in Brussels to the European University Institute in Florence where they have been digitised and later returned to Agence Europe.
The English volumes of Europe Daily Bulletin are part of the European University Institute Library collection.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Bulletin Quotidien Europe and Supplements in French, from 1953 to 1999;
Europe Daily Bulletin and Supplements in English from 1979 to 1999.

Content and Structure

Abstract

Europe Bulletin quotidien/Europe Daily Bulletin is Agence Europe's daily newsletter covering since 1953 all aspects of European integration with detailed daily news articles and insights into European politics and policies. Each Bulletin is about 20 pages long and is divided in topical sections.
Europe Bulletin quotidien was originally published only in French. Publications in two languages (French and English) only appeared in 1976.

Several separately numbered supplements have been published over the years, including:
- Economic interpenetration in Europe and the rest of the world: issued daily, covering international business, finance and economic transactions. An annual index with a list of names/acronyms of all firms covered in this supplement was also published (1978-1996).
- Atlantic News/Nouvelle Atlantiques: a biweekly bulletin started in November 1967 covering political, military, technological and industrial aspects of defence. Later continued by Europe Diplomacy & Defence for matters relating to Common security and defence policy (CSDP) and Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO).
- European Library: weekly insert on relevant publications on European matters.
- Europe Weekly Selected Statistic.
- Europe Brief Notes.
- Europe Documents, issued irregularly: a selection of relevant documents produced by the European institutions.
- European Special Elections: special issues assembling information and observations concerning the electoral campaigns for the European Parliament elections of 1979, 1983-1984.
Agence Europe also published an annual comprehensive index, called "Eurosynt". (1976-1997) listing all topics covered in Europe Daily Bulletin. This is a very useful reference tool: a keyword search through the index will bring up all issues of the Daily Bulletin in which a specific topic has been treated.

System of Arrangement

Each Europe Daily Bulletin features a running number issued by Agence Europe.

The English version of the Daily Bulletins (1979-1999) are bound in volumes and are arranged according to year of publication. On average there are 6 bound volumes per calendar year (two months per volume). Some supplements, namely Economic interpenetration in Europe and the rest of the world, Atlantic News, and European Library are bound with respective issues/years of Europe Daily Bulletin. Other supplements, such as European Special Elections; Europe Documents, and Europe Weekly Selected Statistics, are bound separately.

The French version of the Bulletin Quotidien Europe (1953-1999) are bound in volumes and are arranged according to year of publication. Supplements have been bound together with the respective issues/years of the Bulletin Quotidien.

Physical Characteristics

The print issues of Europe Bulletin quotidien (French on light blue paper) and Europe Daily Bulletin (English on pink paper) were originally printed on loose leaves and later bound in volumes for preservation purposes.
In some cases, inner margins on facing pages (i.e. the space around the edge of a page) of the bound volumes are very tight. For this reason, during the scanning process, the first and last words on mirroring pages may have been cut off and, as a consequence, may be only partially readable.
