EUR-Lex Newsletter N° 01 February 2018 ISSN 2443-6380

Latest developments on the EUR-Lex website: Here are the latest improvements and corrections: 1. Document view The value 'no longer in force' is now enriched with the date of end of validity and a reference to the repealing act. The value 'not yet in force' is now enriched with the date of effect. The relationships between proposals and adopted acts are now more clearly displayed. In the 'Related documents' heading of 'Relationship between documents', documents are now displayed in chronological order. Hyperlinks have been added behind the CELEX numbers present in annotations. 2. Internal Commission procedures The internal procedure view now includes the following metadata in the 'Planning' workflow: 'Initiative summary' - a short description of the initiative of maximum 500 characters. 'EuroVoc thesaurus' - a number of keywords describing the policy domain of the initiative. 'Planned adoption period' - the period within which the Commission plans to adopt the upcoming act. 3. Statistics on legal acts The statistics on legal acts page has been revamped to offer more comprehensive and better structured information. 4. Accessibility Tooltips have been made accessible for 'keyboard only' users. Visibility of keyboard focus indicators has been increased. Both improvements are aimed at making it easier for users relying on the use of the keyboard rather than mouse for navigating on the site. 5. Machine translation MT@EC, the machine translation tool of the European Commission, has been implemented in order to allow for the translation of titles of national transposition measures. The tool is available both from the country table in the 'National transposition' tab of directives and from the notice page of every national measure published on EUR-Lex. Contact us if you have any feedback or questions about these changes.

ELI - the European Legislation Identifier The European Legislation Identifier (ELI) is an initiative of EU Member States in collaboration with the Publications Office of the European Union to improve digital interoperability, discoverability, access, and interconnection of legislative data. The EUR-Lex website features a section dedicated to the ELI register and serves as a central access point to all information about the ELI initiative, including the standard's governance rules and references of the appointed national ELI coordinators. To get started, we recommend you watch a brief explanatory video, which describes what the system is about and how it works. The ELI register hosts the specifications of the ELI standard and provides multiple documentation resources about ELI. Among these you will find the ELI best practices guide, as well as the ELI technical implementation guide with frequently asked questions and answers. The register also offers a wide range of technical tools such as the ELI link validator - an online service that checks published ELI metadata against rules derived from the ELI ontology. To access the ELI register click here. You can look up the latest implementation status of ELI throughout Europe and other announcements of interest in our news section.

Also a new section — Other EU instruments cited — has been created, containing all references to EU legislation and case-law mentioned in the national judgment. 2. Advanced search The Instruments involved part of the JURE search form has been adjusted to allow restricting the search to specific articles of the governing conventions and regulations. The Text search heading has been adapted to better reflect that searching is available only by title for the collections National transposition measures, National case-law and Legislative procedures. The Procedure reference heading of the Legislative procedures search form has been adapted to allow searching for references where the number is followed by a letter, e.g. 2011/0901A/COD. 3. Results list The Latest consolidated version link in the metadata under the result has been adjusted to only be displayed whenever a consolidation relevant for the displayed user interface language exists.

N° 01 February 2017 ISSN 2443-6380

Latest developments on the EUR-Lex website: In January 2017, a new version of EUR-Lex went online. It includes the display of internal procedures for autonomous acts of the European Commission. More concretely, internal procedures follow the major stages of the internal decision-making process within the European Commission and depict the work and various contributions of the different sub-entities involved in this process. This EUR-Lex release features the first phase of a series dedicated to internal procedures of the European Commission and includes information related to the stakeholder feedback to which draft autonomous acts are subjected. Autonomous acts include delegated acts (adopted according to Art. 290 TFEU), implementing acts (adopted according to Art. 291 TFEU) and Regulatory Procedure with Scrutiny acts, (adopted according to Article 5a of Council Decision 2006/512/EC, which defined 5 different Comitology procedures). The drafts of these acts are being transmitted to EUR-Lex since July 2016, with an ARES document identifier (e.g. Ares(2016)2922072). Information about the internal procedure to which they belong is available in a dedicated "Internal procedure" tab, also featuring the publication of the act in the Official Journal whenever available. Contact us if you have any feedback or questions about these changes.
