Celebrating 25 years of European law online on 23 November in Luxembourg The Office for Official Publications of the European Communities celebrates 25 years of electronic access to European law in the presence of His Royal Highness the Grand-Duke of Luxembourg. CELEX – "Communitatis Europaeae Lex", the oldest of legal databases and still the oldest in use – was opened to the public in 1981. Today's EUR-Lex is a merge of the CELEX professional tools combined with the accessibility and user-friendliness of the online environment for both professionals and the public at large. To mark the event, the Publications Office organises a conference entitled "25 years of European Law online". The conference brings together decision-makers from the political and diplomatic sphere, lawyers and academia. It is followed by a day of presentations around EUR-Lex and legal documentation. The event takes place in Luxembourg, on 23 November 2006 starting at 15.45: Conference Centre (Hemicycle, Luxembourg-Kirchberg) ; on 24 November 2006, from 9.00 to 17.00: Court of Auditors of the EC, 12, rue Alcide Gasperi, Luxembourg-Kirchberg. As long as seats are available, you can register by e-mail to opoce-celex@publications.europa.eu

Advanced search (EXPERT)

EUR-Lex now offers a search interface designed to enable professionals to fully exploit the database's rich legal data. You can use all the indexed fields in the database and you can precisely target your search by combining multiple criteria within a single query.

The advanced search service was developed for the needs of professional users who are familiar with EU law and advanced search techniques. To use the expert interface efficiently, it is essential to understand how legal documents are analysed and prepared for loading in EUR-Lex.

The search interfaces are currently only available in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish although all the databases (20 languages) are searchable.
