CELEX – Legislative Citations Field (legcit)
The Legislative Citations field in the CELEX database on Justis is part of the Cross References group, and contains the CELEX document number(s) of Acts that do not form the legislative basis of the Act but that are cited for other reasons, such as Acts that are not expressly affected and Acts that are cited for reference purposes. For example:
| Legislative Citations | 51988IP0349 ................. 51988IP1230 ................. 51986IP0875 ................. |
In order to search for references to a particular document in this field, you need to know its CELEX document number, for example 31999L0093 for the e-Signatures Directive.
Blue document numbers (e.g. 51988IP0349) indicate hypertext links to other documents – click a blue number to display the document.
In the Outline, this field is called “Legislative Citations”.
In documents, this field is shown as “Legislative Citations”.
If you want to use the Legislative Citations field on the Quick Search screen or in the Full Text box on the Search In EU screen, its name is “legcit”, and you can use a search such as:
legcit[51988IP0349]
Used in the Treaties database (Sector 1), the External Agreements database (Sector 2), the Legislation database (Sectors 3 and 4), the Proposals database (Sector 5), the Parliamentary Questions database (Sector 9), and the EFTA Documents database (Sector E).
