The Publications Office of the European Union is an interinstitutional office that publishes and disseminates the publications of the institutions and other bodies of the European Union.
It publishes the Official Journal of the European Union, produces or co-produces general publications and informational material on the activities of the bodies of the EU and provides a number of online services giving free access to information.
The Publications Office manages for example EuroVoc, a multilingual thesaurus on the EU terminology. It contains terms in 23 EU languages (Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish), plus Serbian. Its users include the European Parliament, the Publications Office, national and regional parliaments in Europe, plus national governments and private users around the world. It serves as the basis for the domain names used in the European Union’s terminology database: Inter-Active Terminology for Europe.
EuroVoc covers a wide range of fields from politics and geography to science and energy, through technologies or law (basically all the activity fields of the European Union institutions). Some fields are more highly developed than others because they are more closely related to the EU’s centres of interest. Thus, for example, the names of the regions of each EU Member State are in EuroVoc but not those of third countries.
The thesaurus was manually processed by Delphine Guérou in order to create the Eurovoc glossaries you will find below.
