EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY
(EURATOM)
EUR 80,000,000,000
Euro Medium Term Note Programme

Under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme described in this Offering Circular (the "Programme"), each of
the European Union (the "EU" or an "Issuer") and the European Atomic Energy Community ("Euratom" or an
"Issuer" and, together with the EU, the "Issuers"), subject to compliance with all relevant laws, regulations and
directives, may from time to time issue Euro Medium Term Notes (the "Notes"). The aggregate principal amount
of the Notes issued by the Issuers and outstanding will not at any time exceed EUR 80,000,000,000 (or the
equivalent in other currencies).
This Offering Circular (the "Offering Circular") shall supersede and replace all previous Offering Circulars and
Supplements relating to the Programme.
Application has been made to the Luxembourg Stock Exchange for Notes issued under the Programme to be
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and to be listed on the Official List of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. The Luxembourg Stock Exchange (Bourse de Luxembourg) is a regulated
market, within the meaning of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Directive 2004/39/EC). References
in this Offering Circular to Notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall mean that such Notes have been
admitted to trading on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the
Official List of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Each Tranche (as defined in "Issue of Notes" below) of Bearer Notes (as defined in "Overview of the Programme
-- Form of Notes" below) having an original maturity of more than one year will initially be represented by a
temporary Global Note and each Tranche of Bearer Notes having an original maturity of one year or less will
initially be represented by a permanent Global Note which, in each case, will: (i) if the Global Notes are intended
to be issued in new global note ("NGN") form, as stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, be delivered on or
prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear
Banking SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"); and (ii) if
the Global Notes are not intended to be issued in NGN form, be deposited on the issue date either with a
depositary or as agreed between the relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer (see further "Summary of the
Programme -- Form of Notes" below). Interests in temporary Global Notes will be exchangeable for interests in
permanent Global Notes or, if so stated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, for definitive Bearer Notes after the
date falling 40 days after the issue date upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership (unless the
applicable Pricing Supplement indicates that such Global Note is issued in a transaction to which TEFRA C
applies, in which case no certification will be required) or for Registered Notes (as defined in "Overview of the
Programme -- Form of Notes" below) at any time after the issue date. Interests in permanent Global Notes will
be exchangeable for definitive Bearer Notes or Registered Notes as described under "Summary of Provisions
Relating to the Notes while in Global Form". Registered Notes will be represented by Note certificates (each a
"Certificate") as described under "Overview of the Programme -- Form of Notes" below.
Tranches of Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated,
such rating will not necessarily be the same as the ratings applicable to the Programme. A security rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any
time by the assigning rating agency.

The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Notes must
determine the suitability of that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor
may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits and
risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular
or any applicable supplement;

has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its overall investment
portfolio;
2

(iii)

including Notes with principal or interest payable in one or more currencies, or where the currency for principal or
interest payments is different from the potential investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant indices
and financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.

are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential
investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1) Notes are legal investments
for it, (2) Notes can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions apply to its
purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the appropriate
regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar
rules.

stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European
Union, as amended.
In connection with the issue of any Tranche of Notes, the Dealer or Dealers (if any) acting as stabilisation
agent (the "Stabilisation Agent") (or persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Agent(s)) in the
applicable Pricing Supplement may over-allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the
market price of the Notes at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, there is no
assurance that the Stabilisation Agent(s) (or persons acting on behalf of a Stabilisation Agent) will
undertake stabilisation action. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate
public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may be
ended at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant
Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes. Any
stabilisation action or over-allotment must be conducted by the relevant Stabilisation Agent(s) (or
persons acting on behalf of any Stabilisation Agent(s)) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules.
ISSUE OF NOTES
Notes will be issued by each Issuer on a continuous basis in series (each a "Series") having one or more issue
dates and on terms otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first payment of interest), the
Notes of each Series being intended to be interchangeable with all other Notes of that Series. Each Series may
be issued in tranches (each a "Tranche") on different issue dates. The specific terms of each Tranche (which will
be supplemented, where necessary, with supplemental terms and conditions and, save in respect of the issue
date, issue price, first payment of interest, the date from which interest starts to accrue and principal amount of
the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other Tranches of the same Series) will be set forth in a pricing
supplement to this Offering Circular (a "Pricing Supplement"). Such Pricing Supplement will constitute final terms
for the purpose of the Luxembourg Law dated July 10, 2005 (as amended) on Prospectus for Securities.
This Offering Circular should be read and construed in conjunction with any applicable Pricing Supplement.
SUPPLEMENTAL OFFERING CIRCULAR
Each Issuer has given an undertaking to the Arranger and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange that, if at any time
during the duration of the Programme, there is a significant change affecting any matter contained in this Offering
Circular whose inclusion would reasonably be required by investors and their professional advisers, and would
reasonably be expected by them to be found in this Offering Circular, for the purpose of making an informed
assessment of the overall financial position of such Issuer and the rights attaching to the Notes, the Issuers shall
prepare an amendment or supplement to this Offering Circular or publish a replacement Offering Circular for use
in connection with any subsequent offering of the Notes to be listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any
other stock exchange or otherwise and shall supply to each Dealer and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange such
number of copies of such supplement hereto as such Dealer and the rules of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
may reasonably require.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should consider carefully the risks set forth below and the other information contained in
this Offering Circular prior to making any investment decision with respect to the Notes. Some or all of the risks
highlighted below could adversely affect the trading price of a particular Series of Notes or the rights of investors
under a particular series of Notes and, as a result, investors could lose some or all of their investment.
General risk factors
Secondary market prices of bonds are affected by many factors, including prevailing interest rates and
expectations thereof. Bonds - especially long-dated bonds - may therefore trade periodically at prices below their
issue prices, implying a loss for bondholders who dispose of bonds prior to their stated maturity. In addition,
bondholders may find it difficult to sell bonds prior to their stated maturity at a price that reflects the bondholder's
opinion of the "fair value" of the bonds. They may find that no dealer, or only the dealer from whom they originally
bought the bonds, is prepared to quote a price to buy bonds in the secondary market. This is likely to be the case
to a greater extent for bonds with a relatively small aggregate outstanding amount.
The credit rating of the Issuer may not reflect all risks affecting the Notes
The credit ratings assigned to the relevant Issuer may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to
structure, market and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes issued under the Programme. A credit
rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the credit rating
agency at any time.
