We are pleased to communicate the latest main changes of EUR-Lex. Latest developments A table of contents reflecting the structure of the document is now available both for desktop and mobile versions. It appears for treaties, EU legislation and international agreements for which an xml or xhtml format is available (in general documents from 2004 or later). You can open the table of contents on the left side of the screen. On mobile devices an icon follows the text and allows the opening of the table of contents at any time. The EU Budget online is now accessible directly from the menu on the start page (under Information). In the law making procedure view, a timeline has been added again. It helps to quickly understand the phases of the procedure at a given point in time. The statistics on legal acts page has been further enhanced. It now provides separate entries for repealed and expired acts in a specific time period. Both the JURE and National Case law collections have been enhanced. For example: the results can be filtered by 'Originating Country/Organisation'; in the Advanced Search form they can be searched by the name of the court which can also be found in the document notice under "Miscellaneous information". The internal procedure view The internal procedures are enriched with new events and their reference date belonging to the Commission Planning phase: "Initiative planned" (which refers to the date when the College has given the political agreement on the initiative) and the "Launch of open public consultation". The internal procedure of the European Economic and Social committee (EESC) leading to the adoption of an opinion is now available. If the opinion is part of one or more interinstitutional procedures, then there is a clickable link from the internal procedure to the interinstitutional ones. Contact us if you have any feedback or questions about these developments. Survey We will soon need your help! We are launching a new survey which is part of a usability project, aiming to improve EUR-Lex even further.
