how to cite European Commission implementing decisions

[rriemann]

Dear all,

I would like to cite an implementing decision of the European Commission:

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016D1250&from=EN

For this, I came up with the following bibtex snippet:

@jurisdiction{ec:privacyshield,
  keywords     = {eu},
  title = {Decision 2016/1250 on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.},
  _shorttitle = {EC Decision 2016/1250},
  institution = {Commission},
  date = {2016-07-12},
  journaltitle = {OJ},
  series = {L},
  issue = {207},
  pages = {1},
  url = {https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32016D1250},
}

The outcome of this is:

As you can see, the footnote starts with "Case". Better would be "Decision" or nothing. How could this be achieved? I also suggest to ammend the documentation once we have figured out a solution. :)

Have a nice weekend!

I think the manual indicates using the legislation type for that. Alternatively, you could put Decision in the Type field. Here's what I use for a Framework Decision, for instance:

@legislation{FrameworkDec:Standing2001aa,
    date = {2001},
    date-added = {2021-01-26 21:33:58 +0100},
    date-modified = {2021-01-26 21:44:33 +0100},
    entrysubtype = {directive},
    journaltitle = {OJ},
    keywords = {eu},
    number = {2001/220/JHA},
    pages = {1},
    series = {L},
    title = {Framework Decision 2001\slash 220\slash JHA on the standing of victims in criminal proceedings},
    type = {framework decision},
    volume = {82}}
