Official sources and change history
The guide uses one dated source register. It keeps the original publication, language-specific corrections, later amendments and non-binding guidance separate.
Original publication
Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 was published in the Official Journal on 12 July 2024. The archived English PDF is the authentic publication. The English XHTML is stored to support structured references. The metadata XML identifies all 24 language editions but contains no body of the law.
Current explanation
The project's explanation is a dated reading of the original act together with the corrections and amendments identified below. It is not an official consolidated text. The project will only call a consolidation official when EUR-Lex publishes it as such.
