Agencies
The following agencies, inter alia, come under the remit of the Austrian Federal Chancellery:
Austrian State Archives – Österreichisches Staatsarchiv
The Austrian State Archives are among the most important "historical memory storage facilities" in Europe. The State Archives safeguard highly valuable cultural assets and store documents produced by central administrations, ensuring transparency and an understanding of past events. Both functions are essential elements of a democratic society.

Permanent Delegation of Austria to the EU in Bruxelles – Ständige Vertretung Österreichs bei der EU in Brüssel
Austria has had a Permanent Delegation to the EU – Austria's "EU embassy", so to speak – since it joined the European Union in 1995. The Permanent Delegation represents the Federal Government in dealings with EU Member States and institutions. The Permanent Delegation of Austria is composed of EU experts from all Austrian federal ministries, the Länder liaison body, and representatives of the social partners, the Federation of Austrian Industries, the National Bank of Austria, the Association of Austrian Municipalities and the Association of Austrian Cities and Towns.
The staff represent Austria's position in European Union negotiations. They inform the Austrian Federal Government of the latest negotiation results in a wide range of areas through written reports and analyses that are usually produced immediately after the daily meetings.
