This page lists all EU legal acts cited across this wiki, with links to the consolidated text on EUR-Lex where available, or to the original text where the consolidated CELEX date is not confirmed. EUR-Lex links use the format `uri=CELEX%3A…`; consolidated texts are prefixed `0`, original texts `3`, preparatory/policy documents `5`.

Note on currency: Consolidated versions reflect amendments up to the date encoded in the CELEX number. Always verify the current state of legislation on EURlex before relying on any legal text for compliance purposes.

This page shows all documents as they are actually linked on the wiki pages. These are the documents on which the wiki pages are based. As legal sources change, EUR-Lex publishes new consolidated versions. An automatic script checks for new versions of legal sources and produces a list of consolidated versions newer than the ones we have checked. This list is produced weekly. We periodically check those changes (much less frequently than weekly) and, if relevant, incorporate them into the pages. On such occasions, we update the links on the pages and also on this list. There is a (manual) subscription service available to the automatic list of changes, so if you are interested to be informed when any of the documents listed below changes, send a mail to legal@algen.eu and you will start receiving a weekly mail.
