Online resources that allow an overview The gateway to European Union Law at HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu"http://eur-lex.europa.eu Summaries of European Union Legislation HYPERLINK "http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/index_en.htm"http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/index_en.htm Strategies to find European Union Directives The following strategies are also useful for finding regulations, decisions and other legal acts. A. Adopted Directives Directive with Official Journal (OJ) citation: Look in the OJ issue for the year indicated at HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do Directive with directive number only, check: Methodological Table for the year, this will cross-reference OJ cite HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/RECH_reference_pub.do"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/RECH_reference_pub.do. European Communities Legislation: Current Status to locate the OJ cite HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do Directive without any citation, but with topic, check: Directory of Community Legislation In Force at HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/legis/index.htm"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/en/legis/index.htm Alphabetical index of the Index to the Official Journal HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do Encyclopedia of European Community Law (Part C "Secondary Legislation" multi-volume set arranged by topics. Under topics, secondary legislation arranged and reprinted chronologically). This is available at STCL The Bulletin of the European Union online available at HYPERLINK "http://europa.eu/bulletin/en/bullset.htm%20starts%20with%201996"http://europa.eu/bulletin/en/bullset.htm starts with 1996, issues before that date can be accessed in print version. And it might be worth taking a look at A to Z Index of EU Websites HYPERLINK "http://www.eurunion.org/infores/euindex.htm"http://www.eurunion.org/infores/euindex.htm. The topical pages available from EU web sites often provide access to relevant directives. B. Proposed Directives Proposals for directives will either be identified by topic, or, if amending an existing directive, by that directive number. In addition it could be beneficial to search the EU news outlets. In 2004 the EU implemented a gateway that allows access to legislation in Europe through the European Forum of Official Gazettes at HYPERLINK "http://circa.europa.eu/irc/opoce/ojf/info/data/prod/html/index.htm"http://circa.europa.eu/irc/opoce/ojf/info/data/prod/html/index.htm. It is updated regularly and available in print from the EU publications office. Bulletin of the European Union online available at HYPERLINK "http://europa.eu/bulletin/en/bullset.htm%20"http://europa.eu/bulletin/en/bullset.htm . PreLex at HYPERLINK "http://ec.europa.eu/prelex/apcnet.cfm?CL=en"http://ec.europa.eu/prelex/apcnet.cfm?CL=en. This website is provided by the European Commission. It is thedatabase on inter-institutional proceduresand follows the major stages of the decision-making process between the Commission and the other institutions. European Parliament Legislative Observatory HYPERLINK "http://www.europarl.eu.int/oeil/"online available at HYPERLINK "http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/"http://www.europarl.europa.eu/oeil/. The Legislative Observatory is updated daily and traces the decision-making process from the Parliament. EU Press Room at http://europa.eu/press_room/index_en.htm Strategies to find Implementing Legislation Directives must be implemented by national legislation in Member States. A good way to locate these laws is by researching the jurisdiction in question. Two annually issued compilations are available in print. European Current Law Year Book (published by Sweet & Maxwell) Halsburys Statutory Instruments: EC Legislation (Butterworth Legal Publishers) Online sources: Application of Community Law - HYPERLINK "http://ec.europa.eu/community_law/directives/directives_en.htm"http://ec.europa.eu/community_law/directives/directives_en.htm T his website gives an overview on the national implementation of EU directives N-Lex an experimental gateway by the EU HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/n-lex/"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/n-lex/ And what about Case Law? A. How to Find Citations with Names of Parties or by Topic A number of sources are available in addition to the website of the European Court of Justice. The European Court of Justice allows the search by case number or party name through this access point HYPERLINK "http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/j_6/"http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/jcms/j_6/ The c-series of the OJ publishes a portion of the judgments, so it can be used as a finding tool. HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JOIndex.do At least the latest cases are available on EUR-Lex HYPERLINK "http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JURISIndex.do?ihmlang=en"http://eur-lex.europa.eu/JURISIndex.do?ihmlang=en B. Full-Text Opinions The European Court of Justice publishes case law on its website back to 1953 access to the fulltext version is available here HYPERLINK "http://curia.europa.eu/en/content/juris/index.htm"http://curia.europa.eu/en/content/juris/index.htm C. Case Law concerning the EU issued by national courts The EU developed a website in close cooperation with the Association of the Councils State and Supreme Administrative Jurisdictions of the European Union through which access to national decision affecting the EU is available. The link to this site is http://www.juradmin.eu/en/jurisprudence/jurisprudence_en.lasso Last but not least An experimental web project by the European Union called N-Lex. It is a gateway to the national law of the 27 Countries of the European Union, available in 23 languages.
