EU Financial Services Legislation (Consolidated)

European Union · अपडेट: weekly · eu-financial-law

Consolidated EU financial-services legislation — every consolidated version of every regulation, directive and decision in force that EUR-Lex itself files under insurance, banking or securities markets, in English, taken from the Publications Office’s keyless CELLAR repository in the publisher’s own Formex XML. 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. 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.
