**Text summarization dataset of European laws in 24 languages**. Source of information: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/ . Example summary: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=legissum:am0005

**Files structure:** Folder for each language named after its code. Each folder contains:
- **html_files.zip**: contains folder named after the language code and inside there are all raw html files.
- **txt_files.zip**: contains folder named after the language code and subfolders summary and full with respective txt files inside. Not the entire text from html files is extracted. Custom logic is applied to extract only the needed text content.
- **identifiers_initial.csv**: each row has 2 columns: summary id and full ids separated by space. Some summaries summarize more than 1 full document. 

For each summary id there is:
- URL: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/{lang}/TXT/HTML/?uri=LEGISSUM:{summary_id}&from={lang}
- html file: html_files.zip/{lang}/https:__eur-lex.europa.eu_legal-content_{lang}_TXT_HTML_?uri=LEGISSUM:{summary_id}&from={lang}.html
- txt file: txt_files.zip/{lang}/summary/{summary_id}.txt

For each full id there is:
- URL: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/{lang}/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:{full_id}&from={lang}
- html file: html_files.zip/{lang}/https:__eur-lex.europa.eu_legal-content_{lang}_TXT_HTML_?uri=CELEX:{full_id}&from={lang}.html
- txt file: txt_files.zip/{lang}/full/{full_id}.txt
