Council publishes January 2026 written act summary

The Council of the European Union has published a monthly summary of Council acts adopted by written procedure in January 2026.

• The document lists legislative and non-legislative acts adopted in January 2026, including measures on Guatemala, EU-Mercosur, restrictive measures related to Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and an amendment to the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking.
• It is an informational summary rather than a standalone policy announcement; it also includes a Hungarian statement opposing the EU-Mercosur agreements and quoting the European Commission’s estimate that the deal could increase EU annual exports to Mercosur by 39% and save billions of euros in customs duties each year.
