European Parliament
Juozas Imbrasas  (EFD ),
in writing.
(LT)
I welcomed the resolution on the draft Council regulation on the electronic publication of the
Official Journal of the European Union
. As we know, the Commission presented its proposal on 4 April 2011 with the aim of enhancing legal certainty by broadening access to EU law and enabling everyone to rely on the electronic edition of the
Official Journal of the European Union
(OJ) as the official, authentic, up-to-date and complete version. The proposal therefore provides that electronic publication will equate to valid publication of the OJ. However, in exceptional and temporary cases of unforeseen disruption of the electronic publication only, the printed edition would have legal value.
