CELEX – Subject Matter Field (sub)

The Subject Matter field in the CELEX database on Justis is part of the Default group, and contains appropriate subject headings.

The list of possible subject headings comprises 215 terms which correspond broadly to the chapters of the Treaties establishing the Communities. For example, the terms “commercial policy” and “dumping” identify those documents which deal with anti-dumping regulations.

The more useful words for use as search terms are the lower level subject matters such as “fruit and vegetables”; or “dominant position” rather than the main headings “agriculture” or “competition”. For example:

Subject Matter

ACCESSION; AGRICULTURE; OILS AND FATS;
