FOREWORD
The European Commission attaches great importance to good document management
in all its aspects. Documents are the medium through which information is stored
and transmitted; they have administrative and legal value and they constitute the
basis for the institutions’ short-, medium- and long-term memory. Moreover, an
ever-larger proportion of these documents are in electronic form.
In 2002, the Commission undertook the process of modernising its document
management procedures, aiming to become more efficient, transparent and
accountable. To this end it has adopted two decisions and their implementing rules
that cover the whole document life cycle.
This publication brings together all the abovementioned texts in force at the European
Commission at the beginning of 2010. The purpose of collecting them in one volume
is to make them more readily available and easier to navigate, and thereby to facilitate
their application in the daily work of the institution.
The production of this collection has been preceded by a thorough recast of the
implementing rules (see page 35 for more details), while the provisions established
by Commission decisions in 2002 and 2004 are published here without amendment.
