What practitioners get burned by

Do not describe Slovakia as 'derogation-approved'. No Council Implementing Decision for Slovakia was found; the mandate rests on the new Article 218 route opened by ViDA on 14 Apr 2025. The 'EU-level recognition' reported in June 2026 was recognition at Peppol Conference Europe on 24 June 2026, not a legal derogation. financnasprava.sk could not be reached in this pass.
