In short: a corrigendum to Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/1912 — the one extending temporary protection for people displaced from Ukraine until 4 March 2028. Published on 5 August 2026, it rectifies only two dates in the text: it does not change the extension or your rights.
What it rectifies:
- Article 2 (exception to the new condition on military obligations): for "before 30 July 2026 inclusive" read "before 4 August 2026 inclusive".
- Article 3 (date from which Article 2 applies): for "from 31 July 2026" read "from 5 August 2026".
What it means in practice: the cut-off date for the exemption moves to 4 August 2026 (inclusive). Anyone who already benefited from temporary protection in a given Member State on that date — and keeps it uninterrupted in that same State — does not have to provide evidence of having fulfilled military obligations in Ukraine.
What does NOT change: the extension of temporary protection until 4 March 2028, and the rest of the Decision.
Any paperwork to do? No. This is a correction to the legal text; Member States apply the corrected dates directly.
