Not in every listWhat this means
Found in the text, but not every source lists it — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. The source that does not name it is the amending act's instructions. All are shown; none is overruled.
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
The heading and the body of both paragraphs now refer to 'downstream operators and traders' instead of only 'SME traders'.
Paragraph 1's reference to Article 5 compliance has been expanded to include Article 5(1) in addition to the previously listed paragraphs (2), (3) and (4).
