Every source cited in the Statement of Legal Basis, captured and fingerprinted, so that the Union's case can still be checked if a source changes or disappears.
44 sources captured

From 11 November 2026 at 09:16 UTC

How to check a capture

  1. Download a published copy and compute its SHA-256 fingerprint, for example with sha256sum. It must match the fingerprint listed below.
  2. Open the independent Internet Archive snapshot of the same address, taken by a third party.
  3. Check the manifest, which lists every fingerprint. Its own SHA-256 is recorded in the Gazette:b8d2f6bf2a1329cc0203e62977fd1a1fa33b960a23842172464958521f3bc390
Treaties, legislation, court records and UN, EU and W3C documents are published here in full. Pages owned by other publishers are protected by copyright, so the Union keeps those copies privately as evidence and publishes only their fingerprints and Internet Archive snapshots.
