"Since it was decided to launch a single currency in Europe, numerous Internet
sites dealing with the euro have been set up by individuals, institutions,
companies, etc. In order to keep this Internet memory of the euro alive, the
Directorate General Economic and Financial Affairs of the European Commission
has decided to store all these documents –whether merely informative, in favour
of or against the euro currency - in an electronic archival resource,
Euro-Archives, which aims to make all points of view on the euro accessible to
the widest possible audience."
