How Warconomy uses this source

The Council's own record of adopted restrictive measures — the authoritative resolution source for whether a given EU sanctions package has legally been adopted (as opposed to proposed or under negotiation). The 20th package was adopted 23 April 2026 and a supplementary 'mini' package on 15 June 2026; a 21st package was proposed by the Commission on 9 June 2026 and remained under member-state negotiation at the time of access. Manually checked; not fetched at runtime.

Citation readiness

Why

• official publisher
• deep link to the specific page/series
• manually reviewed

Limitations

• manually maintained static value, not real-time
• irregular/policy cadence; re-verify against the source
• not legal or compliance advice

Citation readiness is a derived label from the source’s authority, role, and how directly it backs a maintained value — not a correctness claim.
