Official Publications

Publications Office of the European Union

EU's official publications cover a wide range of subjects, including agriculture, economics, energy, science and technology, social affairs, trade and transport as well as statistics provided by Eurostat, the statistical office of the EU (see European, EU and Eurozone Statistics ).

The EDC at the Institute receives most of EU's official publications in line with the EUI's research interests. These include amongst others:

The Official Journal (OJ)

The Official Journal was published for the first time on 30 December 1952. Since January 1968 the OJ has been published in two separate series: L (Legislation) and C (Information and Notices).

Since 1998, an electronic version has been made available on EUR-Lex with every printed edition. All Official Journals are now being scanned and gradually uploaded to EUR-Lex in PDF format.
