Dear Mr Brown,
Following your request on The European Parliament's response to the events
of Tiannanmen, 3-4 June 1989, please note that the Public Register
contains documents from December 2001 onwards. Therefore we contacted our
colleagues in the Historical Archives Service (in Cc) and they searched in
their database.
It appears that they have quite an important number of documents ; they
kindlly produced a table with all the references (attached). We suggest
you to contact them directly and see which documents are relevant for you
and also to decide on the best way to receive them.
Best regards
