- Sector tags: General cross sector · General Secretariat of the Council · Printed page 7 (PDF page 8), section II, paragraph 11: request for a European approach to artificial intelligence. — Paragraph 11 calls for a European approach to AI rather than a measure limited to one application sector.

Research assessment
- Inclusion rationale
- The official conclusions PDF and same-day Consilium release verify title, references, adoption/publication and a dedicated request for a European AI approach. The cover note distinguishes the General Secretariat as sender/host manager from the European Council as adopter and authoring body.
- Researcher notes
- Historical collection and corpus classifications are AI-assisted researcher assessments, separate from official metadata.
