What this object links to

Every relation appears below as a path: from the source with its locator, through the conditions and exceptions of the object carrying the relation, to the consequence. A locator belongs to a statement in the data and not to a relation, so the source is the source anchor of the carrying object.

What this object states

Official fact

Attributable to a named primary source, with a locator. Where they differ, the official source prevails.

On 5 November 2026 the Commission formally adopted the guidelines on the transparency obligations of Article 50 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 as a Communication from the Commission, C(2026) 7702 final. The document of 20 July 2026, C(2026) 5054 final, was according to its title page the annex to a Communication to the Commission approving the content of the draft Communication. Point (5) of the adopted text states that the guidelines are non-binding and that any authoritative interpretation of the AI Act may ultimately only be given by the Court of Justice of the European Union. On 11 November 2026 the Commission publication page offered the adopted text in 23 official languages of the Union, including Dutch.

Our interpretation

Our own reading. It can change without the law changing, and it is not the position of a supervisory authority.

We compared the English text of 20 July 2026 and that of 5 November 2026 sentence by sentence. The content and the numbering of points (1) to (155) are the same; the differences are editorial. Point (24) now refers to "point 27" where it said "paragraph 27", and point (143) now names points 36 and 40 where the reference carried no number. A locator in this dataset that points to a point of C(2026) 5054 final is therefore found under the same point number in C(2026) 7702 final. Anyone citing the guidelines should name the adopted document from now on; what the guidelines ask does not change.
