Valid European law reference formats for JustCite

JustCite incorporates linking technology developed by Justis Publishing that recognises a string of characters as a citation of a document, and then locates and displays the appropriate data about that document.

Citations in the following formats can be used in the Reference field on the Search In EU screen, or on the Quick Search screen.

Please note that although some of the recognised formats look like titles, you must not search using the Title field — if you do, then JustCite will find all documents that contain the words in the title, not just the document you are looking for.

It does not matter whether the citation includes full, partial or no punctuation; or is in upper, lower or mixed case.

J-Link logo   If you see any of these references on a web page, then you can use the free J-Link legal research tool to convert them into links to information in JustCite.

The citation formats for European information that JustCite can recognise include:

Document numbers

Common names

Publication references

CELEX – document numbers

Each document in CELEX has been assigned a unique document number (e.g. 31997L0044), which usually contains ten characters. This number is used in the various fields, databases and sectors in the CELEX database to identify and cross reference documents. Valid numbers include:

  • 31997L0044
  • 31986R3528-A02P3
  • 11997D/AFI/CE
  • 61994B0088
  • 61994B0088(01)
  • 61994B0088(02)

Document numbers are constructed using the following format:

Sector + Year + Document Type + Document Identifier

Sector – (1 character – 31997L0044) The first character in the CELEX document number, indicating the sector in which the document can be found.

Year – (4 digits – 31997L0044) The second, third, fourth and fifth characters in the CELEX document number are the 4 digits of the year of publication of the document, e.g. 1998.

Document Type – (1 or 2 characters – 31997L0044). The sixth (and sometimes seventh) character in the CELEX document number, always alphabetic, not numeric. For each sector, alphabetic codes have been assigned to various types of documents. The same code can have different meanings in different sectors.

Document Identifier – (normally 4 digits – 31997L0044) The four numbers following the alphabetic document type in the CELEX document number. This is an identifying number for the document (such as the Directive Number). For numbers with fewer than 4 digits, leading zeroes must be added.

Some documents in the Treaties database have document numbers that include forward slashes and that use alphabetic characters for the document identifier, for example 11997D/AFI/CE is a valid document number in which the document identifier is “AFI/CE”.

Example

The CELEX document dealing with Council Directive 97/44/EC of 22 July 1997 has the document number 31997L0044, which can be broken down as follows:

3Sector 3 (Secondary Legislation)
1997publication year 1997
LDocument Type L (EC/EURATOM Directives)
44the identifying number of the document

Suffixes

Some document numbers include a suffix. Some suffixes indicate a part of a document, for example:

31986R3528-A02P3

means Article 2, Part 3 of Regulation number 3528 of 1986. Other suffixes indicate a series of related documents, for example:

61994B0088, 61994B0088(01) and 61994B0088(02)

are all concerned with Case T-88/94 in the Court of First Instance.

Wild Cards

You can not use wild cards in the Reference text box on the Search screen.

COM DOCs – number formats

The formats of numbers of COM DOCs, preparatory documents for European Union legislation, that JustCite can recognise include:

  • COM (90) 132
  • COM/90/0132
  • COM/90/132
  • COM 90 132
  • COM DOC 90 132
  • Com Doc 90/0132
  • Com Doc 90/132
  • com-doc-90-132
    
  • COM (2000) 132
  • COM/2000/0132
  • COM/2000/132
  • COM 2000 132
  • COM DOC 2000 132
  • Com Doc 2000/0132
  • Com Doc 2000/132
  • com-doc-2000-132

The elements of the numbers can be separated by space, hyphen or slash, and the alphabetic parts can be in upper or lower case. The digits representing the year can be enclosed in parentheses.

Years from 2000 onwards always have 4 digits. Years before 2000 originally had 2 digits and should have been converted to 4 digits. However, some documents still have 2-digit years, and so you need to look for both versions, e.g. Com Doc 90/132 and Com Doc 1990/132, to be sure of finding all matching documents.

Council Common Positions – number formats

Formats of numbers of Common Positions of the Council of the European Union on the Common Foreign and Security Policy that JustCite can recognise include:

  • Common Position 2003 444 CFSP
  • Common Position 2003-444-CFSP
  • Common Position 2003/444/CFSP
  • Common Position 2003/444/C.F.S.P.
  • Council Common Position 2003 444 CFSP
  • Council Common Position 2003-444-CFSP
  • Council Common Position 2003/444/CFSP
  • Council Common Position 2003/444/C.F.S.P.

Alphabetic characters can be upper or lower case.

For documents in which the year component of the number is before 2000, two-digit numbers can also be used:

  • Common Position 96 184 CFSP
  • Common Position 96-184-CFSP
  • Common Position 96/184/CFSP
  • Common Position 96/184/C.F.S.P.
  • Council Common Position 96 184 CFSP
  • Council Common Position 96-184-CFSP
  • Council Common Position 96/184/CFSP
  • Council Common Position 96/184/C.F.S.P.

JustCite can also recognise numbers of Common Positions of the Council of the European Union in the following formats:

  • Common Position (E.C.) No. 5/2004
  • Common Position (EC) No 5/2004
  • Common Position (E.C.) 5/2004
  • Common Position (EC) 5/2004

  • Common Position (EC) 5-2004
  • Council Common Position (E.C.) No. 5/2004
  • Council Common Position (EC) No 5/2004
  • Council Common Position (E.C.) 5/2004
  • Council Common Position (EC) 5/2004
  • Council Common Position (E.C.) 5-2004
  • Council Common Position (EC) 5-2004

JustCite cannot recognise numbers of EC Common Positions prior to the year 2000, because they do not match their CELEX document numbers – for example Common Position (EC) No 20/1999 has the document number 51999AG0514(01).
