We have undertaken a large and extensive spectroscopic survey of WNE stars both in the SMC and LMC with various 2m and 4m telescopes, reaching a total of 78 nights, spread over three years, and obtaining over 1500 long-slit spectra of medium resolution. The first goal is a systematic search for binaries via periodic radial-velocity variations. We enlarged our dataset with photometric data from the ogle and macho databases, and with archival X-ray data from the ROSAT and Chandra satellites.
