What role did the European Parliament play in some of the most important moments of EU history? Voyage back in time and see how events unfolded from the Parliament's vantage point: the birth of the euro (1998), the first time Parliament's investigations led to the fall of the European Commission (1999), the signing of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000) and the enlargement of the EU to embrace the former communist bloc countries (2004 and 2007). Watch the unedited truth in the language and the documents of the era.
