Browse the Official Journal

Help

The ‘Browse the Official Journal’ page offers many filtering options.

You can access this page from the menu on the left-hand side of the following pages: ‘Access the Official Journal’, ‘Official Journal L series daily view’, ‘Official Journal C series daily view’, ‘Browse the Official Journal’, ‘Legally binding printed editions’ and ‘Special editions’.

At the top of the page, two buttons let you display the Official Journals of the day or of the last 7 days.

You can also search all the Official Journals published within a specific range of dates.

On the left-hand side of the page, you can filter the Official Journals according to a wide range of criteria.

The filters on top of the list let you select Official Journals related to:

  • court proceedings;
  • notices of EU competitions and other documents related to selection procedures;
  • sessions of, for example, the European Parliament or the European Economic and Social Committee;
  • specific topics such as COVID-19 or Brexit.

The filters that correspond to some Official Journals in the results list appear in blue and can be selected. Otherwise, they are inactive and appear in grey.

You can filter the Official Journals according to the series (L or C), the author and the type of act. Those filters are always active.
