For the interpretation of statutes, the reasoning for why and how the legal text was conceived is almost as important as the legal text itself. European Union legal texts are prepended with a list of so called recitals which contain this reasoning. (E.g. in https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&qid=1646822912999 the 173 paragraphs following the word “Whereas” are the recitals for the GDPR.)

Therefore, a locator type recital is as essential for citing EU law as is the locator type article.

Using `verse` as a workaround for missing locator type `recital`. Cf.
