A corrigendum published by the Council of the European Union on 6 July 2026 corrects three translation errors in the Spanish and Romanian language versions of Directive 2011/95/EU, the EU's Qualification Directive. The errors, found in Article 19 of the directive, mistakenly referred to revoking 'refugee status' instead of 'subsidiary protection status' in two Spanish paragraphs and one Romanian paragraph. The corrigendum, classified as a correction of obvious errors under procedure 2(b), replaces the incorrect phrases to align with the intended meaning of the directive. Member States have eight days to submit observations on the correction. The fix ensures legal consistency across language versions for all Member States applying the directive, particularly affecting national authorities and legal practitioners handling asylum cases. No prior coverage of this corrigendum exists in recent records.
