The Official Journal of the European Union is the official publication (gazette) for EU legal acts, other acts and official information from EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies.
It is published from Monday to Friday – and in urgent cases on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays – in the official languages of the EU at the time of publication, currently numbering 24.
EUR-Lex contains the electronic version of all the Official Journals going back to 30 December 1952 when the first Official Journal of the European Coal and Steel Community was published.
Following the entry into force of the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community in 1958, the Official Journal of the European Communities was created by the Decisions of the Councils of the European Economic Community and of the European Atomic Energy Community of 15 September 1958 (Official Journal No 17, 6.10.1958, pp. 390 and 419).
As of July 2013, only the electronic edition of the Official Journal published on EUR-Lex is authentic and produces legal effects.
From 01 October 2023, the Official Journal is no longer a collation of acts with a table of contents. Each act is published individually as an authentic Official Journal in its PDF format. See more in this video with a transcript .
The Official Journal currently comprises 2 series:
- L – Legislation, with mostly EU secondary law (mainly regulations, directives, decisions, opinions, and recommendations) and international agreements
- C – Information and notices, containing preparatory acts, announcements, summaries of judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union, annual reports of the European Court of Auditors, statements from the European Economic and Social Committee and the European Committee of the Regions, calls for expressions of interest for EU programmes and projects, etc.
You can find more information on the Official Journal of the European Union (structure, series, special editions, authenticity, etc.) on the help pages.
