The Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) is the official gazette of record for the EU.  


An offshore bond in the international capital markets, issued in (offshore) [[Eurocurrency]], most frequently in USD.
OJEU is the successor to the Official Journal of the European Community (OJEC). It is often abbreviated to "OJ" where the EU context is clear.


Eurobonds are, generally speaking, beyond domestic market regulation. Maturities at issue are normally greater than one year and are usually, but not always, in bearer form.
OJEU is only published online ("e-OJ"). Electronic editions of the OJ (e-OJ) published after 1 July 2013 have legal force ("are authentic"). The paper version no longer has legal force except when the OJ online cannot be published due to IT systems disruption.


They can be issued on any interest basis. Some attempts are being made to refer to Eurobonds as International bonds. 
OJEU is divided into "series".


One reason for this change in terminology is to avoid confusion with the [[euro]] (the currency of the euro area, informally Eurozone or [[Euro zone]], introduced some decades after the development of the Eurobond market).

The Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) is the official gazette of record for the EU.

OJEU is the successor to the Official Journal of the European Community (OJEC). It is often abbreviated to "OJ" where the EU context is clear.

OJEU is only published online ("e-OJ"). Electronic editions of the OJ (e-OJ) published after 1 July 2013 have legal force ("are authentic"). The paper version no longer has legal force except when the OJ online cannot be published due to IT systems disruption.

OJEU is divided into "series".

EUR-Lex, European Union law, comprises the EU Legislation series ("L series") and the Information and Notices series ("C series" and its supplements) where other official documents of the EU institutions, bodies and agencies are found.

The supplementary "S series" deals with European public procurement. The online version is available at TED (Tenders Electronic Daily).
