Editorial methodology
How Data-EORI is written, reviewed, and updated. This page is designed to support transparency and trust for YMYL contexts.
Editorial policy
- Primary-source first: content is grounded in EU legal texts and institutional documentation.
- Neutral tone: descriptive documentation; no persuasive language and no marketing framing.
- No speculative claims: no invented statistics, no predictions, and no assumptions about national procedures.
- No validation or status claims: we do not state whether any EORI number is assigned, active, or valid.
Review and update process
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Source capture | Identify primary EU legal references and institutional pages relevant to the topic. |
| 2. Drafting | Write descriptive sections using consistent terminology; flag any areas where Member State variability exists. |
| 3. Consistency checks | Verify terms and scope across pages (definition, structure, standards, guide) and ensure disclaimers are present. |
| 4. Update log | Record material changes with dates on Updates. |
Conflict-of-interest and affiliation
Data-EORI is independent and not affiliated with the European Commission or national customs authorities. It does not sell services, does not operate validation tools, and does not provide paid advisory content.
Limitations
- Institutional implementations differ; where variability is known, the site states this explicitly.
- Primary sources may be updated; the update log records the last review date.
