EU Employment & Social Legislation (Consolidated)

European Union · aggiornamenti: weekly · eu-employment-law

Consolidated EU employment and social legislation — every consolidated version of every regulation, directive and decision in force that EUR-Lex itself files under directory chapter 05 Freedom of movement for workers and social policy and its sub-codes (free movement of workers; social policy: anti-discrimination, gender equality, the European Social Fund, working conditions, safety at work, wages and working hours, industrial relations, employment, protection of workers, social security and its application to migrant workers), in English, taken from the Publications Office’s keyless CELLAR repository in the publisher’s own Formex XML. Measured on 24 August 2026: 338 consolidated versions of 126 acts — the social-security coordination Regulation 883/2004 in eight versions and its implementing Regulation 987/2009 in seven, the free-movement Regulation 492/2011, the Posting of Workers Directive, the Equal Treatment Directive 2006/54, the Employment Equality Directive 2000/78, the Transfers of Undertakings, Information and Consultation and Young Workers Directives, the Platform Work Directive 2024/2831, the Framework Directive 89/391 with twenty-four individual health-and-safety directives, and the European Social Fund and labour-statistics Regulations among them; REACH is filed under safety at work and its sixty-three versions ride along here. Stated rather than hidden, because it is most of the modern acquis: the Working Time Directive, the Pay Transparency Directive 2023/970, the Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions Directive, the Work-Life Balance Directive, the Adequate Minimum Wages Directive, the Temporary Agency Work Directive, the Posting Enforcement Directive 2014/67 and the European Labour Authority Regulation are all filed under this chapter but 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 Racial Equality Directive 2000/43 is filed under general principles and citizenship. 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.
