Glossary
Consolidated text
A consolidated text is a version of an act that merges the original with all its later amendments and corrigenda into one readable document; in most systems it is for information only, though some countries publish official consolidations.
In the EU, the Publications Office produces consolidated versions, identified by CELEX numbers starting with 0 and ending in a date. Only the texts published in the Official Journal are authentic.
Most national lanes in Arieta Data are consolidated texts (BOE legislación consolidada, Finlex ajantasainen lainsäädäntö, Normattiva vigente). Each record’s attribution says so.
