EUR-Lex Advanced Search for EU Legal Acts
Summary
The European Union's EUR-Lex portal has updated its advanced search interface for legal acts. This update provides users with enhanced options for searching regulations, directives, and decisions within the EU legal framework.
What changed
The EUR-Lex portal, the official online source for European Union law, has made its advanced search functionality available. This tool allows users to refine their searches for EU legal acts, including regulations, directives, and decisions, by various criteria such as text content, document reference, date, and legal basis.
While this is a notice about a search tool and not a regulatory change itself, compliance professionals can use this to more efficiently locate relevant EU legislation. There are no direct compliance obligations or deadlines associated with this notice; its primary utility is in improving the efficiency of legal research for EU regulations.
What to do next
- Familiarize legal and compliance teams with the EUR-Lex advanced search features for efficient EU legal research.
