Access
the Official Journal of the European Union
The
Official Journal of the European Union is the principal
source of EUR-Lex content and it is published in the early
morning after every working day. It consists of two series:
L (Legislation) and C (Information and Notices). E and A
are Official Journals published as annexes to the C series
(e.g. C 307 A, C 309 E).Latest
issues are accessible from the homepage; click on the links
in the upper right-hand corner, just under the language
bar.
You
have direct access to all the documents in your list of
search results; just click on your preferred format. You
can also check which languages and formats are available,
display complementary data, sort or refine your search result
to get more relevant documents (find these options on the
yellow bar and/or the search box). You can review and/or
combine the queries made in one session by clicking on Search
history.
