Fifty-Six Euros a Day, Fixed by a Decree That Has Not Moved Since 2012, and Three Working Days to Tell the Police Where You Are

The Union's legal database. Publishes each act as adopted in the Official Journal and, separately, a consolidated version carrying every amendment to a stated date, identified as 0YYYYRNNNN-YYYYMMDD. The consolidated text marks each amended passage with the instrument that changed it.

Standing: Maintains the text in force

Cannot be cited for: A consolidated text is explicitly not authentic - EUR-Lex says so on the document - and only the Official Journal version has legal force. It also says nothing about how any member state applies the act: a regulation is directly applicable but the border practice, the evidence an officer may ask for and the national exceptions are in national law, which is published elsewhere.

The Slovak state's own legal information system, run by the Ministry of Justice, which publishes the Zbierka zákonov Slovenskej republiky and keeps every instrument as a series of point-in-time versions. Three addresses serve the same corpus and they behave differently. www.slov-lex.sk is the live portal: a legacy address such as /pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/2011/404/ answers HTTP 301 to redir.slov-lex.sk and again to /ezbierky/pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/2011/404/, which is an application page. static.slov-lex.sk is a complete static mirror at predictable addresses and is the one to read: /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/ is the version history, /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/{YYYYMMDD}.html is the version in force from that date, and /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/{YYYYMMDD}.print.html is the same text without the navigation. The third is the PDF, at /pdf/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/ZZ_{year}_{number}_{YYYYMMDD}.pdf, and for an instrument of any age it is the one with legal force: each version's header prints either Obsah dokumentu je právne záväzný or, for older instruments, Obsah tohto dokumentu má informatívny charakter, and the HTML page says in terms that its content is informative and that the legally binding content is in the PDF. Version dates are the date the version took effect, so finding the text in force on a given day means reading the history page rather than guessing an address.

The PDF has no such furniture and extracts as clean single-column text, but it breaks a sentence wherever a footnote block or a running header falls: section 20(2) of Act No. 404/2011 Z. z., section 27(1) of the same Act and section 7(3) of Act No. 40/1993 Z. z. are each cut in half by a footnote, and section 23a(1)(e) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. is cut by a page break with the forty-hour limit on one page and the eighty-hour limit on the next. A quotation has to be taken from whichever side of the break its sentence survives on and cut short rather than stitched. **The informative-versus-binding line is not where its age suggests.** The PDF of Vyhláška No. 499/2011 Z. z. prints Obsah tohto dokumentu má informatívny charakter on its own first page, so for that instrument neither manifestation is the promulgated text. It cannot be cited for anything the Collection does not carry: the register of occupations with a labour shortage by region, kept under section 12(ad) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. by the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family; the annexes to Government Regulation No. 521/2021 Z. z., which the portal serves as separate downloads rather than as part of the text; how much of that regulation's ceiling of 3,000 national visas remains at any moment, which nothing requires anyone to publish; the business plan template the Ministry of Economy publishes under section 32(5)(a) of Act No. 404/2011 Z. z.; and the practice of the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad in assessing national consciousness under Act No. 474/2005 Z. z. It is also not the place to read a figure that an opatrenie moves: Act No. 601/2003 Z. z. still prints 178.92 EUR in its own section 2(a), and the amount in force is in the ministerial measure, which is a separate instrument with its own address.

The PDF has no such furniture and extracts as clean single-column text, but it breaks a sentence wherever a footnote block or a running header falls: section 20(2) of Act No. 404/2011 Z. z., section 27(1) of the same Act and section 7(3) of Act No. 40/1993 Z. z. are each cut in half by a footnote, and section 23a(1)(e) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. is cut by a page break with the forty-hour limit on one page and the eighty-hour limit on the next. A quotation has to be taken from whichever side of the break its sentence survives on and cut short rather than stitched. **The informative-versus-binding line is not where its age suggests.** The PDF of Vyhláška No. 499/2011 Z. z. prints Obsah tohto dokumentu má informatívny charakter on its own first page, so for that instrument neither manifestation is the promulgated text. It cannot be cited for anything the Collection does not carry: the register of occupations with a labour shortage by region, kept under section 12(ad) of Act No. 5/2004 Z. z. by the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family; the annexes to Government Regulation No. 521/2021 Z. z., which the portal serves as separate downloads rather than as part of the text; how much of that regulation's ceiling of 3,000 national visas remains at any moment, which nothing requires anyone to publish; the business plan template the Ministry of Economy publishes under section 32(5)(a) of Act No. 404/2011 Z. z.; and the practice of the Office for Slovaks Living Abroad in assessing national consciousness under Act No. 474/2005 Z. z. It is also not the place to read a figure that an opatrenie moves: Act No. 601/2003 Z. z. still prints 178.92 EUR in its own section 2(a), and the amount in force is in the ministerial measure, which is a separate instrument with its own address.

The Slovak state's own legal information system, run by the Ministry of Justice, which publishes the Zbierka zákonov Slovenskej republiky and keeps every instrument as a series of point-in-time versions. Three addresses serve the same corpus and they behave differently. www.slov-lex.sk is the live portal: a legacy address such as /pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/2011/404/ answers HTTP 301 to redir.slov-lex.sk and again to /ezbierky/pravne-predpisy/SK/ZZ/2011/404/, which is an application page. static.slov-lex.sk is a complete static mirror at predictable addresses and is the one to read: /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/ is the version history, /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/{YYYYMMDD}.html is the version in force from that date, and /static/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/{YYYYMMDD}.print.html is the same text without the navigation. The third is the PDF, at /pdf/SK/ZZ/{year}/{number}/ZZ_{year}_{number}_{YYYYMMDD}.pdf, and for an instrument of any age it is the one with legal force: each version's header prints either Obsah dokumentu je právne záväzný or, for older instruments, Obsah tohto dokumentu má informatívny charakter, and the HTML page says in terms that its content is informative and that the legally binding content is in the PDF. Version dates are the date the version took effect, so finding the text in force on a given day means reading the history page rather than guessing an address.

Standing: Maintains the text in force

Cannot be cited for: **The HTML and the PDF are two manifestations of one document and only one of them can be quoted at length.** The static HTML is captured with the portal's own copy-to-clipboard icons between every block, which survive extraction as image markdown; a quotation that crosses a paragraph boundary therefore carries exclamation marks the publisher never wrote, and in the residence Act that is every lettered list.
