Editorial standards

Clear convictions. Verifiable facts.

Federal Europa argues for a democratic European federation. That position makes accuracy more important, not less.

01

We label argument as argument

Federation-forward analysis is presented as a case to consider. Legal status, current institutions, and practical rights are described separately and cautiously.

02

Official sources come first

For EU law, institutions, rights, and current procedures, we prefer EUR-Lex, Your Europe, EU institutions, national authorities, and primary research.

03

Review dates mean something

A review date records the latest editorial check of the article's claims and links. Time-sensitive guidance is updated or clearly qualified.

04

No country rankings disguised as truth

Countries and cultures are not competitors. Comparisons should help readers understand a choice, not manufacture a winner.

05

Corrections stay visible

Material factual errors are corrected promptly. Significant changes are recorded on the corrections page with the date and nature of the change.

06

Privacy before growth tricks

Federal Europa does not publish open submission forms or collect personal profiles. Optional analytics require a clear choice.

07

Evidence should be easy to audit

Important practical and current claims are grounded in authoritative sources. Articles surface a short key-evidence set near the opening answer and retain the fuller source list below, so readers can check scope, dates and institutional responsibility without hunting.

08

Publication and review are different

The published date records when an article first entered the Federal Europa library. The reviewed date changes only after a material editorial check or update. A new review date is not used to make unchanged guidance look fresh.

09

Tools do not replace editorial responsibility

Automated tools can assist research organisation, link checking, image production, formatting and quality assurance. Federal Europa remains responsible for the claims, framing, source selection, corrections and final published page.
