The list of 46 Strategic Projects in the EU, read in full 2026-11-03 (file sha256 2d927a5fbbb05dddcec4eaf4dae80180a3d9a0d0e901801cc794d04bda140ce3). Each entry gives the project name, type, country, promoter and materials. Only projects naming a tracked material are recorded as designations. The document states it was adopted on 9 October 2026; when this PDF was first posted online is not established, so datePublished is left unknown. The Decision was later published in the Official Journal as Commission Decision (EU) 2026/2349 (OJ L, 22.10.2026); notification and effective dates are not established.
