The important role that national archives play in state administration and e-administration development is explained as well. The paper furthermore presents the proposal of the new General Data Protection Regulations intended to cover the sphere of archives. Finally, the paper describes the Council Regulation amending Regulation (EGS, Euratom) no. 354/83 regarding the depositing of historical archives of institutions at the European University Institute in Florence.
