Infoleht 27.1.2012
EUR-Lex was recently updated. These are the three most important changes:
Document types — new page
We have added a new page with a table listing the sector, descriptor and type of document for all documents in EUR Lex.
The table makes it easier to build a Celex number – a document's unique identifier in EUR Lex – which is composed of characters and digits representing the sector (1 digit), year (4 digits), document type (1 or 2 letters) and document number (4 digits).
EU laws and preparatory acts – direct link
You can now go straight to the directories of EU legislation in force and preparatory acts from the left-hand menu of the EUR Lex homepage, under COLLECTIONS.
Access to pre-1998 OJs
All Official Journals published before 1998 are being uploaded to EUR Lex in PDF format (see table below). Since 1998 all OJs have been available in EUR Lex, via the Official Journal link in left hand menu of the EUR Lex homepage.
| Year | Series | % available in EUR-Lex |
| prior to 1968 | single | 80% |
| 1968-1997 | L (legislation) | 100% |
| C (information and notices) | 20% | |
| 1998 to present | L, C, special editions | 100% |
