Questions about meanings of symbols in Council Documents
-> [ Legal Documents | Council ]
Someone called "I" started a wiki page asking questions about symbols in EU documents and giving some hints as to what he has found they might mean.
Explanations on symbols in EU Council documents
Questions posed by anonymous "I"
For example let's take http://register.consilium.eu.int/pdf/fr/04/st11/st11979.fr04.pdf
There are several symbols on the first page that I am curious what they mean:
1) in the top right corner, under Bruxelles there is (OR, en)
2) does the document number 11979/04 have any logic behind it?
- I know 04 is year 2004, and I noticed that usually the first two digits change when there is a change of the month of "Document Date", but it might be just coincidence, I did not check too many yet.
3) what is "PI 61" and "CODEC 962"?
- Its descibed as "Subject Matter" but any more details? CODEC might be CODECISION
4) in the footer there is something like "JG/cb" or "GA/jw" (that was in
- an english version of that document. That might have something to do with the translator...
5) and finally what is DG C1 also in the footer?
- DG C1 is the organisational body in the Commission. Ask Ph. Aigrain for explaition. Arebenti: DG = Directorate General I assume
Is there an explanation somewhere of all this?
Also the funny EU notation like
PV/CONS 28 COMPET 76 RECH 100
or
6580/02 PI 10 CODEC 242 11503/03 CODEC 995 PI 70 9277/04 PI 41 CODEC 693
- + ADD 1

out of http://register.consilium.eu.int/pdf/en/04/st09/st09586.en04.pdf is not yet perfectly clear to me.
