"The Commission presented this proposal in 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
(OJ) as the official, authentic, up-to-date and complete version. The proposal therefore specifies that electronic publication will equate to valid publication of the OJ, although in exceptional and temporary cases of unforeseen disruption of the electronic publication, the printed edition would have legal value. Electronic publication of the OJ was one of the priorities of the Hungarian Presidency between January and July 2011, with reference to the importance of public access to Union legislation. Due to reservations in the Council regarding national parliamentary scrutiny, however, the formal request from the Council for the consent of the European Parliament was not sent until 13 March 2012. The Council text provides for a welcome reform of the way in which the OJ is published, as it provides for increased legal certainty and better access on the part of citizens to European Union legal acts. Currently, almost everyone consults just the electronic form of EU legal acts. The fact that electronic versions of legal acts are not legally binding is unacceptable. The consultation of paper versions of the OJ is a time-consuming, costly process, and is carried out by very few users. The reform will thus increase legal certainty and reduce access costs for citizens and businesses. In my opinion, the EU should welcome all such reforms."@en1
