Discussions about Euronet-Diane [Direct Information Access Network for Europe] began in the early 1970s, too, I think.

Dusoulier

It began after the resolution of the Council of Ministers in 1971 to create the European network. There was a committee, Comité Internationale pour la Documentation Scientifique et Technique,

CIDST. We had a meeting of this committee almost every week. J'étais l'un des deux représentants français ; Jacques Michel était le deuxième. First, it was Jacques Delors; and then Jacques Michel. We tried to prepare a European information network. Il y avait alors un ensemble de groupes dans tous les domaines — en médecine, en métallurgie, avec Georges Anderla, comme directeur à cette époque. Je le rencontre encore.

Dusoulier

We were trying to implement this European network at a political level to create relationships between the countries. This was for the countries to organize and to cooperate better in different fields, and see if we could exchange information, set up databases, and control what the commission was doing. In fact, they were working in medicine, agriculture, and metallurgy. They took a lot of time. I think we have set up a kind of common European atmosphere to do that. But it was really political.

We were not doing practical things; we were just discussing at political levels what the commission was trying to do. We were also working with automatic translations. An American system was implemented in the commission and we tried to adapt it. I don’t think we have achieved anything important, apart from the creation of this European group.
