EU Competition & State Aid Legislation (Consolidated)

European Union · التحديثات: weekly · eu-competition-law

Consolidated EU competition and State-aid legislation — every consolidated version of every regulation, directive and decision in force that EUR-Lex itself files under directory chapter 08 Competition policy and its sub-codes (competition principles; restrictive practices; dominant positions; concentrations; public undertakings; State aids and other subsidies; obligations of undertakings; national trading monopolies), in English, taken from the Publications Office’s keyless CELLAR repository in the publisher’s own Formex XML. Measured on 24 August 2026: 63 consolidated versions of 33 acts — Regulation 1/2003 and its procedural Regulation 773/2004, the State-aid implementing Regulation 794/2004 in thirteen versions, the General Block Exemption Regulation in six, the agricultural, forestry and fisheries block exemptions and de minimis Regulations, the vertical and motor-vehicle block exemptions, the enabling Regulation 2015/1588, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation and its implementing Regulation, the merger implementing Regulation 2023/914 and the Transparency Directive 2006/111 among them — and thirteen individual Commission decisions in State-aid and antitrust cases that the publisher has consolidated, which ride along under the same chapter. Stated rather than hidden: the Merger Regulation 139/2004, the State-aid Procedural Regulation 2015/1589, the Antitrust Damages Directive and the general de minimis Regulation 2023/2831 have never been amended, so the publisher has no consolidated version of any of them and no dataset of consolidated texts can carry them; the Digital Markets Act is filed under information technology and consumers and ships in the EU digital and consumer datasets. One record is one article or one annex, so a provision can be cited and retrieved on its own. Identity carries the date: a record’s key is the consolidated CELEX number, which names the act and the date its text was in force from, so the same article across successive consolidations is a series of records a buyer can diff. Each record states the act and its title, the consolidation date and layer, the ELI, whether a later consolidated version of the same act exists in the release, the Part/Title/Chapter it sits under, every amending act folded into the consolidation, and — read off the publisher’s own consolidation marks — which amending act changed that particular provision. Formulae published as images are omitted and counted. The directory codes that define the dataset ride on every record, so an act the publisher files under two of these datasets says so in both. Reuse rests on Commission Decision 2011/833/EU, and the source acknowledgement, the statement of what was changed and the notice that consolidated texts have no legal effect ride on every record. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
