Legal basis

Not re-verified since these pages were introduced (2026-10-20): EUR-Lex was unreachable from the build environment. The citation is the rule's own, unchanged.

PassSection that matches

This text passes and shows what the check measures: listed terms and length. It is not model disclosure wording and does not meet MiCAR.

  "title": "Synthetic rule example",
  "type": "emt",
  "sections": {
    "emt": "Synthetic example naming e-money token, referenced, official currency, denomination. This synthetic sentence only adds length and states no fact about any issuer or token.

Limitations

Reads one section key, emt. Text elsewhere in the draft is not considered.
Matches words and counts length. It does not test accuracy, consistency with other sections or the point-level items of the cited Part.
Status and severity are fixed by the rule. A draft cannot waive or downgrade them.
The Annex III rules have not yet been run against a real EMT white paper.
