The text on a date

The text of one Luxembourg work as it stood on one date, or of one EU work in the wording that answers that date (its original wording or a later consolidated one), article by article, as the publisher wrote it, with what a quotation of it needs. The identifier and the date go to this server in the request and nowhere else, and this page keeps nothing.

How to read this

The publisher's dates this site holds for this act

  • Entry into force: 2016-05-24 (the publisher's qualifier, word for word: DATPUB +20 V ART 99)
  • Application: 2018-05-25 (the publisher's qualifier, word for word: V ART 99)
  • Deadline: 2020-05-25 (the publisher's qualifier, word for word: AU+TARD V ART 97)

Not held for this act: end of validity. The publisher's dated statements this site holds for it give no such date, which says nothing of whether the act has one.

None of the dates above is used to choose a wording: each wording below carries its own date.

32016R0679, eng, the consolidated wording of 2016-05-04 (the publisher's consolidation date)

This is the latest wording held: it answers every later date, and an amendment the publisher has not yet consolidated is not in it.

3 other publisher works carry this date: 1 with this same text held here, 2 with no text held here.

What this reading does not hold

  • publisher_signature: no signature or attestation of the publisher is held; the digests are this index's own reading of the retained package
  • unconsolidated_amendments: an amendment the publisher has not yet consolidated is not held: the latest consolidated wording answers every later date, as dated
  • force_dates: the act's own dates are said under force_dates, as the publisher's dated statements on the act give them; none of them is used to choose a wording, each wording carries its own date, and a date the publisher records without a dated statement is not held
  • observation_time: when the publisher served the retained package is not held, so no observation time is stated
  • markup_and_notes: the Formex markup, notes and tables are not served as structure; the text is the article's searchable text, in publisher order
  • annexes: no annex text is held: annexes are not indexed as articles, so no annex is searched, quoted or exported; annexes_not_served lists the annexes the corpus classified against the publisher PDF on the members an expression was read from, with the official source to read them, and an empty list says only that the corpus classified none there, not that the act has none
