From the About: "The European Internet Archive is a free service which provides access to historical versions of websites. The mission is to provide a long-term archive of websites to citizens of the EU and abroad.

It is operated by Intelligence X, a search engine & data archive. We are not funded by the EU. It would make sense if the EU Commission paves the way for a EU-funded and operated internet archiving project.

Technical details: For security reasons, pictures, videos, JavaScript, and other potentially dangerous codes and external references are removed. Therefore historical versions may appear 'blank'. Our crawler only indexes HTML pages; if a website relies heavily on JS and dynamic elements, it will not be properly archived. "

    The most important piece of that quote:

      >We are not funded by the EU
    
    But they still styled their website to be very similar to the official EU website look. Presumably to make you think they had some kind of official status.
