The CELEX (Communitatis
Europeae Lex) group of databases was the computerised
documentation system for
European Union law that was
used by all of the institutions of the
Union. It was originally intended
only for in-house use by EU institutions and EU civil servants, but
has been available to the public since 1981
|
|
|
Each document in
the
CELEX databases has been assigned a unique document
number (e.g. 31997L0044), which usually contains ten characters
|
|
|
Document numbers are
constructed using the following format:
Sector
+
Year +
Document Type +
Document Identifier
(usually a four digit number)
|

To find out how to
construct a Celex number, there is a guide available from Justis at
