Research assessment

Inclusion rationale

Fourth formally published Council Presidency compromise.

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 document remains the fourth non-binding Presidency compromise and names ST 12549/22 as its predecessor; the planned 25 October working-party presentation is not a publication date. The issue date remains 19 October 2022. Annex 6 of ST 15322/24 documents later disclosure on 28 October 2024, not first-ever publication.
