Research assessment

Inclusion rationale
Final Presidency compromise before Coreper's general-approach revisions.
Researcher notes
The Czech Presidency, acting within the Council, is the substantive drafter and originator, and Delegations are the recipient. The Council author association represents that Presidency origin and does not imply Council adoption. The cover's 'Preparation for Coreper' title and the text's 'final version' description identify a non-binding negotiation text, not final legislation. The issue date remains 3 November 2022. Annex 6 of ST 15322/24 documents later disclosure on 28 October 2024, not first-ever publication.
