Juris m / EU OSCOLA citation

Hi there,

Had similar questions in regards to International treaty citations before but wanted to know if people also struggle with citing EU Directives and Regulations.

I have tried Statute, Regulation and Bill types now and none of them work. Below is how the citation should look. The title is always first on the citations when it should come after legislation type and number. Bare in mind the title includes 'of April 2003' as well as 'introducing a system....'


legislation type | number | title | [year] | OJ series | issue/first page

Footnote and bibliography:
e.g. Council Regulation (EC) 1984/2003 of 8 April 2003 introducing a system for the statistical monitoring of trade in bluefin tuna, swordfish and big eye tuna within the Community [2003] OJ L295/1

To pinpoint, follow the citation with a comma, the relevant term or abbreviation and a number or letter. To pinpoint several articles (for example), insert a dash between the article numbers:
e.g. Council Regulation (EC) 1984/2003 of 8 April 2003 introducing a system for the statistical monitoring of trade in bluefin tuna, swordfish and big eye tuna within the Community [2003] OJ L295/1, art 4 para 2(a)
