Summary/Abstract: The National Council for Studying the Security Archives (CNSAS) is celebrating four year since it’s been created. This is a perfect opportunity to evaluate its general activity. During these four years the Council has only identified one hundred former Security members though it had verified several thousand persons. This figure is totally irrelevant compared to the general estimation of the total amount of former Security officers and informers (between 400,000 and 700,000). The article is dealing with six main reasons explaining the institutional inefficiency of the Council, its incapacity to guarantee the citizens free access to their personal security files and its more efficient and clear capacity to disclose of a larger number of agents.
