**What it does not test.** It does not itself commit money; Parliament and Council still have to adopt the regulation before any funds move.

**How this item counts.** This item is dated before the index starts on 1 January 2026, so it does not count in the [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/).
