CELEX – Reference Box
The Reference text box (formerly the Common Name text box) on the Search In EU screen in Justis is part of the Default group, and lets you search for a document in the CELEX database by its document number, its designation, or a colloquial name. For example:

- 31992R2408R(02)
- 11997D/AFI/CE
- COM/2000/0132

- Case C-361/2000
- C-361/2000

- Council Directive 2003/8/EC
- Dir 2003-8
- Council Regulation (EC) No. 2027/2003
- Reg 2027/2003
- Article 6 Treaty of Rome
- Enforcement of Judgments Convention
- Schengen Acquis
- Electronic Signatures Directive

You can search for more than one document at a time, for example:
Many variations can be recognised; for further examples see Valid European Law Reference Formats for J-Link
Terms entered in the Reference box do not correspond to a particular field in CELEX documents, and so “Reference” does not appear in the Outline or as a heading in documents.
