Information Sources

By visiting the Europa site you can access a wide range of European information. Europa also offers a more detailed explanation of two further sources of EC information, accessed through this page - CELEX and EUR-Lex.

Details of EC Legislation may be accessed via the CELEX or EUR-Lex websites.

CELEX is a comprehensive and authoritative information source on European Community Law. It offers multilingual, full-text coverage of a wide variety of legal acts including the founding treaties, binding and non-binding legislation, opinions and resolutions issued by the European Union Institutions and consultative bodies, and the case law of the Court of Justice. The database currently holds over 200,000 records in 11 official languages.

This service is via a subscription cost. Details of all costs are available from the CELEX Subscription page.

EUR-Lex is similar to CELEX but offers EC Information free of charge. A user registration is required to use pages from the Official Journal. Under normal circumstances you will receive a user-id and password within minutes of registering. Please note your ID and password as you will be able to use them time and again.

The EUR-Lex search facility permits two types of searches:

  • A full text search allowing the use of key words or phrases

  • A search by document using specific document numbers from the pages of the official journal, Decision, Directive or regulation number, COM series number etc.

It should be noted that a web browser capable of using tables should be used such as Netscape Navigator Microsoft Internet Explorer version 2.0 or above.
