Origins of the Forum
The European Forum of official Gazettes was founded on 8-9 September 2004 in Vienna, Austria. Its inception can be traced back to an informal meeting of the directors of official gazettes held in Luxembourg on 11 April 2003. At this meeting, which celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Official Journal of the European Communities, the directors decided to foster increased cooperation between the official gazettes of current and future Member States of the European Union (see Members & Observers) by setting up an unofficial forum.
