Its mission is to support EU policies and make a broad range of information publicly available as accessible and reusable data. The overall aim is to facilitate transparency, economic activity, and the dissemination of knowledge.[1]
As such, it is the central provider of access to publications of the European Union including legal publications (prominently the Official Journal of the European Union), public procurement notices, open data and applications.
The Publications Office's main audience is the public (individuals and businesses).
Thanks to its work, a wide range of official EU information is available to the public as findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) data — essential in today's data-driven economy. The Publications Office thus supports transparency, economic activity, the development of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, and access to knowledge in general.[2]
This means it plays a significant role in several of the EU's political priorities: democracy, the economy, and digital transformation.
The Publications Office of the European Union is managed by its Director-General and Senior Management on the basis of the strategic guidelines set by the Management Committee.
