German term or phrase: ABl
ABl. Nr. L 27 vom 30.1.1997, S. 20. Siehe zum buchhalterischen Unbundling in der Elektrizitätswirtschaft nach geltendem Recht auch die Erwägungsgründe Nr. 32 und Nr. 33 Richtlinie 96/92/EG.

The above sentence appears in a legal text and I would like to know the full form of the abbreviation ABI. Is it by any chance "Aktionsbündnis barrierefreie Informationstechnik"
Just a wild guess that!

Official Journal or OJ
Explanation:
Amtsblatt is right, but if it's EU, as it appears from the context, it is the Official Journal.

Well Kim was quite right there and damn quick topo but I will have to grant it to you because the word Official journal is better in the given context. THanks both of you!
Forgive me for the terrible guess I made!
