This is an official consolidated text: the original act with later amendments merged by EUR-Lex for the date shown above.
The consolidation date is not an entry-into-force or application date. It identifies a publisher wording state. The authentic legal acts remain those published in the Official Journal; Lex preserves the consolidated wording, source and hashes as a reading and comparison aid.
Each displayed provision carries its own hash so you can verify that Lex served the indexed text unchanged, here is how.
