STRATEGIES For EU Legal Research
Fundamental Source The EU Glossaryhttp://europa.eu/scadplus/glossary/index_en.htm(Access from the documents tab on the main Europa page.)
If you want to peruse in subject categories… • SCADPlus • Commission’s alphabetical index • Commission Library’s catalog • Panoramas
SCADPlus This source summarizes and links to legislation. It doesn’t get you to every possible underlying document.http://europa.eu/scadplus/scad_en.htm
The Commission’s Alphabetical Index http://eurunion.org/infores/eu_a.htm(Actually, there are two.)
This one is managed by the the Commission’s library in the U.S.
This one is managed by the Commission headquarters in Brussels.
Both alphabets get you to similar pages. If one doesn’t have a listing that helps you, go to the other alphabetical index.
The other alphabet lists “air quality data” and “air quality legislation” as two separate entries.
If you click on the legislation link, You land in Eur-Lex.
So, those alphabetical lists are easy to browse and can get you to either primary or contextual information pretty efficiently.
The Commission Libraries Catalog http://ec.europa.eu/eclas/F
Panoramas Under the activities tab on http://www.europa.eu.int click on topic, then choose “panorama.”
If you click on one of those summaries of legislation, you get to the SCAD-Plus material.
If you scroll down through a Panorama page, you can jump into the law.
