In 1992 the National Library of Estonia was appointed the depositary library of the EU. As the demand for EU information was increasing rapidly, the European Union Information Centre (EUIC) was established in September 1998. In November 1999, EUIC opened free of charge EU Information Phone 800 3330. In April 2009 EU Information Centre became part of the European Documentation Centres (EDCs) network of European Commission, which was launched in 1963. In 2005 the EDCs became part of European Direct information network.
The objective of the EUIC is to provide the public of Estonia, Riigikogu (the Parliament) and other constitutional institutions and bodies with relevant information about the EU.
