# EUR-Lex Legislation Diff — Compare EU Directives & Regulations

Public Goods

# EUR-Lex Legislation Diff

Compare versions of EU legislation to help gap analyses and your regulatory change management.

### See regulatory change in context.

A user-friendly tool for extracting and comparing different versions of the same EU legislation. Create a legal blackline (also known as a "redline" or "diff") to instantly see changes in legislation over time, making it easier to understand and meet updated compliance requirements. Simply right-click on a link to a consolidated version and select "Compare with current legislation".

#### Upcoming legislative changes you can see via the tool

- AIFMD II implementation on 16 April 2026
- Changes to MiFID II coming into force on 6 June 2026

 [View on Chrome Web Store →](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dcccghgbmhkpmpldipomekbbmgmcnmln)

#### How it works

To generate a comparison, navigate to the desired "base" version of the legislation on eur-lex.europa.eu, find the desired comparison version from the list of consolidated versions on the left, right click to open the context menu, and select "Compare with current legislation".

#### Make EU regulatory change less painful

 [David Wormley](/about) has helped many organisations to design, implement, operationalise, update and improve policies, procedures and controls in response to changes in EU regulation, including:

- MiFID
- AIFMD
- AMLD/AMLR
- GDPR
- PSD2

He has used this experience to build some extra workflows on top of this tool to feed its structured diffs directly into LLMs, to create context-aware and prioritised change management task lists covering policies, systems and controls. If you'd like to know more about how he can help you with EU regulatory change, please [get in touch](mailto:david@appliedincantations.com) .
