order to ensure the efficient functioning of the ESS
for that purpose. 2010 — 32 pp. — 14.8 × 21 cm

The gateway to European
Union law
EUR-Lex combines an elaborate tool for professional
users and an information source easily accessible to all.
The EUR-Lex website provides entirely free access
to the world’s largest documentary repository on
European Union law. It is designed for those who
are interested in EU law and exists in all the official
languages of the European Union. It gives users access
to EU documents in PDF, HTML, TIFF or DOC format.
The content of the site dates back to 1951 and amounts to some
2 300 000 documents. The database is updated daily and every year some
15 000 documents are added.
You can:
K e y p u b l i c a t i o n s o f t h e E u r o p e a n U n i o n 2 0 11
consult the Official Journal of the European Union online;
access EU legislation and other documents by:
— searching for documents,
— browsing through collections and directories.
The L (Legislation) and C (Information and Notices) series of the Official Journal
of the European Union are loaded on to the EUR-Lex site early each working day.
This allows the EUR-Lex user to follow the latest developments in EU law. The
Official Journal has been available online in PDF format since 1 January 1998.
Texts published in the Official Journal before 1998 can be consulted in HTML
format or downloaded in TIFF format from an optical archive.
New features
New features have been added to EUR-Lex. Browsing through COM documents
was added to the ‘Preparatory acts’ collection. The options of searching for SEC
documents and national execution measures were made available in ‘Search by
natural number’. To facilitate access to selected documents, permanent links have
been added to each bibliographic notice.
