Research assessment

Inclusion rationale

Coreper text forming the immediate basis for Council's general approach.

Researcher notes

The Czech Presidency, acting within the Council, is the substantive drafter; the Council author association represents that Presidency origin and does not imply Council adoption. The General Secretariat is separately recorded as cover-note sender and Coreper is the recipient. Section VI invites Coreper agreement and a recommendation that the Council reach a general approach; this is not an already adopted Council position. The issue date remains 11 November 2022. Annex 6 of ST 15322/24 documents later disclosure on 28 October 2024, not first-ever publication.
