The European Commission presented the Cybersecurity Act proposal in January 2025.

Omissions

• The normalized text states January 2025, but the original speech says 'last January' which, given the session date of 19 May 2026, refers to January 2026. The extractor metadata appears to contain a year error.
• The proposal was presented as part of a broader Cybersecurity Package, not as a standalone Cybersecurity Act proposal.
• The presentation date (20 January 2026) is more precise than the claim's 'last January', though the claim's phrasing is accurate at the monthly level.
