CELEX (Communitatis europeae lex) is the official legal database of the European Union. It was developed in the early 1970s for internal use by the Commission and gradually grew into an interinstitutional information source. In the 1980s it became multilingual and was launched as a public source of EU legal information. CELEX is available in all official EU working languages. Coverage includes Community legislation, preparatory acts, references to national implementing measures, the case-law of the European Courts and parliamentary questions.
