Website History

The UNICA website was started in 1997 by Arie de Jong. It was passed to Dave Watterson in 2013. In 2019 Eugy Van Gool took over. These pages from the de Jong and Watterson era contain historical data. Links to outside websites may not work. Statements about policy and regulations may be invalid.
A few pages are in just one language, because that is how they appeared when published. For current news and information go to  www.unica-web.one
