Required parameters[edit]

eurlextag is a tag for the EUR-Lex database e.g. OJ:L:2002:118:0001:0054:EN:PDF
url is a direct url for the document e.g. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32012L0013

Optional parameters[edit]

eurlexscheme: Can optionally be tried in combination with eurlextag if the template does not generate a working link. The only supported value as of April 2014 is eurlexscheme=uriserv for url's starting with http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:. If no workling link can be made with eurlextag then use url instead.
