EUviitteissä

EUviitteissä is a Finnish term that translates to "in EU references" or "in EU citations." It generally refers to the practice of referencing or citing legal acts, decisions, or other documents originating from the European Union within a Finnish context. This can occur in various professional and academic settings, such as legal documents, parliamentary debates, academic research, or policy analyses.

When a Finnish document needs to refer to an EU act, such as a regulation or directive, it will typically cite the official publication of that act in the Official Journal of the European Union. This ensures clarity and allows readers to locate the precise text being referenced. Finnish legal professionals and researchers are expected to be familiar with the conventions of EU citation to accurately incorporate EU law into their work.

The use of EUviitteissä is a direct consequence of Finland's membership in the European Union. As EU law has direct effect or requires transposition into national law, referencing these EU sources is crucial for understanding and applying the relevant legal framework. The consistent and accurate use of EUviitteissä contributes to the transparency and legal certainty of documents that are influenced by EU legislation.
