description: >-
  data.europa.eu publishes no plans and no pricing, because there is nothing to sell. It is a service of the
  Publications Office of the European Union; access to every API — search, registry reads, MQA metrics, MQA
  reporting, SHACL validation, statistics and SPARQL — is free and anonymous, and the reuse of the content is
  governed by Decision 2011/833/EU on the reuse of Commission documents and the licences carried on each
  dataset, not by a subscription. Write access to a catalogue is granted administratively by the portal team
  to organisations responsible for that catalogue; it is not sold and there is no self-service sign-up.

notes:
- >-
  REPLACES A FABRICATED SCAFFOLD. Until this pass this file carried three invented tiers — "Free"
  (1,000 requests/month), "Professional" (100,000 requests/month, price TBD) and "Enterprise" (negotiated
  volume, 24/7 support, contractual SLA, custom data residency) — written by the 2026-05-04 bulk sweep and
  marked `method: generated`. None of it exists. An EU institutional open-data portal has no professional
  tier, no overage price and no account manager, and presenting one misrepresented the provider.
- No pricing pointer is emitted in apis.yml because the provider publishes no pricing page.
