Every document includes analytical metadata (references to the publication, dates, key words, etc) that are sorted in various tabs. The tab "Text" appears first by default. The tab "Document data" includes information related to the document (metadata). Other tabs may appear depending on the type of document (for example "Procedure", "Transfer to National Law", "Summary of Legislation", etc.).

Every document can be displayed in three languages simultaneously, at the most. The language that is displayed is the user's language.
