COM
docs are Commission documents, usually proposals for
legislation, but they can also be consultative documents or
reports on EU policies.
They
are numbered sequentially each year and are referenced by number
and date i.e. COM (2002) 0018.
Note
that the COM doc number is often seen in the format COM (2007)
368 final - the word 'final' indicates that this is the version
formally adopted by the Commission.
