Meta
All article text above is reproduced verbatim from the EUR-Lex OJ text of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 (CELEX 32016L2102; the Directive is unamended, so no consolidated edition exists), extracted mechanically via the Publications Office Cellar API — see tools/eur-lex/build_eu_wad.py, whose verify mode confirms every source paragraph appears verbatim. Do not hand-edit article text. Each article carries the official ELI identifier as a trailing attribute anchor (e.g. {#art_7}), which also works as a fragment on the EUR-Lex HTML view; paragraphs and points carry derived anchors built from the article id and their printed labels (e.g. {#art_1-3-a}).
