Licence and attribution
Terms that travel with every record
Upstream licence: EUR-Lex legal notice (reuse authorised, source acknowledged; Commission documents under Decision 2011/833/EU). Every record in this lane carries the licence name, URL and attribution in its source field, and each snapshot’s LICENCES.md repeats them. Licence terms are documented per source and set out in the licence agreement.
Notes, in plain language
- EU legislation, the Official Journal and Court of Justice case law are included.
- EU documents are identified by their CELEX number (for example 32016R0679 for the GDPR) and, where published, by ECLI and ELI.
- Reuse of EUR-Lex content, including commercial reuse, is permitted by the EUR-Lex legal notice, which applies the Commission’s reuse policy (Decision 2011/833/EU), with acknowledgement of the source. CJEU case law is reused under the CURIA copyright notice. Only the Official Journal (and, for case law, the Reports of Cases) is authentic.
- Citation edges come from EUR-Lex notice pages and from the Cellar repository, typed reference, amendment, repeal, corrigendum, implementation, legal-basis, proposal and transposition.
