EUR-Lex

EUR-Lex provides free access, in the 24 official EU languages, to: the Official Journal of the European Union, EU law (EU treaties, directives, regulations, decisions, consolidated legislation, etc.), preparatory acts (legislative proposals, reports, green and white papers, etc.), EU case-law (judgements, orders, etc.), international agreements, EFTA documents and other public documents. It also allows you to follow legislative procedures. The database is updated daily and contains more than 3 million items with some texts dating back to 1951. Each document is displayed with analytical metadata (publication reference, dates, keywords, etc.) organised behind different tabs: about this document, text, linked documents, procedure (the life cycle of a document), all. A document can be displayed in up to 3 languages simultaneously.

Europa.eu

This site gives you: basic information on how the EU works, the latest EU news and events, links to EU information on the websites of EU institutions and agencies.
