Synthetic-media instruments, by article and effective date

Union law on synthetic media, kept paragraph by paragraph

An instrument is recorded by paragraph because its obligations fall on different parties. One paragraph binds providers, another binds deployers, and a third carves out artistic work. As of 2026-09-12.

Why one article is recorded as seven separate pagesThe paragraphs of a transparency article bind different parties and carry different qualifications. One addresses the provider of a system, another the person deploying it, and a further one exempts creative work. A single summary of the article would have to choose one of those readings and discard the rest.ProvidersBuild and place on the marketMarking dutiesMust be met in the productDeployersUse the system on contentDisclosure dutiesMet at publicationExemptionsArtistic and satirical workNarrower dutiesStill disclosed, differentlyOne article, three audiencesWhere each paragraph lands
Fig. 1 Each paragraph is a separate obligation with a separate audience, which is why the record keeps them apart.

Summarising an article in a sentence loses precisely the information a compliance question turns on. The duty to mark synthetic output and the duty to disclose a deepfake sit in different paragraphs, apply to different people, and are qualified differently.

So each paragraph gets a page carrying the official wording, the role it binds and the date it takes effect. Where the text uses a defined term, the definition is linked rather than paraphrased, because a paraphrase of a legal definition is a new definition.

Only the published text is used. Commentary, guidance drafts and press summaries are not recorded here, however useful they are, because a reader checking a clause needs the clause and not a reading of it.
