1 Related information OJ OnlinePlus contains documents gathered on a daily basis from EUR-Lex and it contains the Celex database, the inter-institutional documentation system for Community law. In addition, it delivers information collected from the principal EU Institutions and Agencies. The EU law database primarily covers documents published in the Official Journal of the European Communities and by the Court of Justice; legislation, treaties, case law and preparatory documents. The current trend is to extend coverage to documents considered by the issuing institution to be public, regardless of their publication in the Official Journal. ocuments are given an identification number - a Celex number. About Celex Numbers In OJ OnlinePlus a Celex number can be used to retrieve individual records and is the basis for cross-referencing of documents in the database as well as for implementing hypertext links. Celex numbers are constructed as follows: Sector number Year ocument type Reference number 1 character 4 digits 1 or 2 characters 3 or 4 digits Sector number The Celex database is split into sectors. Each of these represents a broad category of information such as Secondary legislation or Cases. The different sectors and type of information they contain are given below. Year The year is now represented by four digits, e.g Note: OJ OnlinePlus offers the option of searching by Celex numbers with a two digit or a four digit year. ocument type This is the code for the document type. For example sector 3 (Secondary legislation) contains irectives, Regulations, ecisions, etc. Each of these different types of record is represented by a one or two letter code, for example a irective is represented by the letter L. The letter code for each record type is shown in the table below. [Note: the same codes are sometimes used in different sectors for different document types, e.g. the Treaty of Rome is document type E in Sector 1, but document type E in Sector 9 is a written question.] Reference number This is identifying number for the document, i.e. the legislation number, COM number or Case number. Where the reference number contains less than 4 digits, zeros are added to form a four digit number, e.g. the reference number for irective 89/392/EEC is The exception is treaty articles, where the reference number must be a 3 digit number e.g. article 87 of the Treaty of Rome is 087. Examples: The following examples show Celex numbers for different types of record:

2 Article 86 of the 1957 EEC Treaty = 11957E086 irective 79/112/EEC = 31979L0112 Regulation (EEC) No 3033/80 = 31980R3033 COM (92) 23 final = 51992PC0023 Judgment of case 290/90 = 61990J0290 Celex sectors Celex has a subject classification system called the Register which is als used in the irectory of Community Legislation in Force. The Celex database is divided into the following sectors: Sector 1 Sector 2 Sector 3 Sector 4 Sector 5 Sector 6 Sector 7 Sector 9 Sector C Sector E Treaties External Agreements Legislation Internal Agreements Proposals + preparatory documents Case Law National Implementation European Parliamentary Questions OJC ocuments EFTA ocuments Using Celex Numbers in OJ OnlinePlus A search in the Celex number field will retrieve a document and all records related to that document.
