European Union Corporate Bodies authority list (XR-EUCB)
Description
The European Union Publications Office maintain a list of 'Corporate Bodies' covering offices and bodies of the European Union (labelled EU), as well as external bodies referenced regularly in European Systems (labelled INT).
The list is more authoritative for EU Institutions, than for International institutions the EU works with.
Note that not all of the bodies in the list are legal entities: some represent 'projects' as opposed to organizations that the European Union institutions have worked with.
The list contains some meta-data on organisational hierarchy, and succession where one organization has replaced another.
How to use
The code for this list is XR-EUCB.
When you have located the organization you wish to identify in this list, you should either:
Enter it in an identifier database field prefixed with XR-EUCB.
XR-EUCB-[ IDENTIFIER ]
Examples
XR-EUCB-ACP_MIN
XR-EUCB-COR_COM5
XR-EUCB-DEL_SSD
Alternatively, use it within a two-part identifier, with XR-EUCB as the 'scheme', and the identifier you have located as the 'identifier' field.
