EUR-Lex Peek

Click a cross-reference on EUR-Lex and read the cited article, point or definition in a popup bubble. Bubbles nest. Unofficial.

Reading EU legislation means constantly chasing references: "point (5) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/2402", "Annex I, Section A, points (3) and (6), to Directive 2014/65/EU", "Article 8a of Directive 2013/36/EU". EUR-Lex Peek opens the cited text right where you are, in a bubble, instead of a new tab. HOW IT WORKS • Cross-references on eur-lex.europa.eu are underlined. • Click one: the exact cited article, paragraph, point, annex or section opens in a bubble next to your text. • References inside a bubble are clickable too, so you can follow a chain of definitions without losing your place. • Drag bubbles by their header, press Esc to close the top one, use the arrow to open the text on EUR-Lex. BUILT FOR ACCURACY • A reference always opens in the act it names. When no act is named ("Article 5", "this Regulation") it opens in the act the text itself belongs to, also inside nested bubbles. • Cited acts are shown in the newest consolidated version in force today, and every bubble says which version it shows. The original Official Journal text is used only when no consolidated version exists, and it is labelled. • If it cannot tell which act a reference means (for example "Article 114 thereof" with no act named before it), it leaves the text alone instead of guessing. • If the exact point cannot be found, the bubble says so. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no tracking, no analytics, no data collection. The extension only talks to eur-lex.europa.eu, the site you are already on. GOOD TO KNOW • English texts only for now. • Open source (MIT): https://github.com/ThatAJ01/eurlex-peek • Unofficial.
