EurLex Search

Gudrun Schwarz describes a way to search on the free Eur-Lex service for Member States' legislation transforming directives in this comment on my German blog.

For example, if you display the 1995 directive on data protection, you get a long URL. Towards the end of that URL there is a field "numdoc=31995L0046".

Change the "3" in that number to "7" and you reach a list of transformation legislation, after one extra click on "more info".

I don't know why Eur-Lex chooses to put this information on the net without telling people how to reach it. Possibly this might stop to work anytime without warning.
