To all and sorry for the cross posting.
As usual, the OPOCE appears to assume that all subscribers to CELEX are
European. It is my understanding that CELEX and Eur-Lex are to be merged
into one system, free to all world-wide, as of July 1. However, I have been
warned by OPOCE that there could be some slippage in that date due to
technical difficulties. I would presume that, if the conversion is not
complete by that date, CELEX subscribers and privileged users would still be
able to access the system.
I will ask OPOCE to let me know if this is an accurate statement.

Hi Barbara,
We received a letter from M. Langlais dated 6 Feb. 2004. The letter
'cancels' our CELEX contract as of 1 july 2004 because of an EP resolution
of 30 June 2002 giving "free access to all European Citizens".
This is followed by a statement saying it will be free of charge.
As I remember isn't it to be free to all persons, everywhere?
Before I pass this info on to the two major law libraries in Seattle, I want
to be clear on this point. Thanks for your help.
