Research direction
Start by reproducing the GraphQL request described in the issue and compare it with the linked Ads Library example for Romania. Trace how eu_total_reach, funding_entity, and spend are returned for EU-delivered non-political ads; done means identifying whether the null response is an API defect or documented limitation and recording the required fix or clarification.

Description
Hi!
I'm using the Ads Library API to retrieve data for ads delivered in the European Union, specifically Romania. While the documentation states that eu_total_reach is:
“Available only for ads delivered to the EU”
In practice, I consistently receive null values for this field, even under the following conditions:
The ad is visible in the public Ads Library for EU countries (e.g., example ad).
The “Beneficiary and Payer” section is shown in the UI, indicating transparency requirements.
The ad is served in Romania, an EU member state.
I'm explicitly requesting eu_total_reach via GraphQL.
The API returns funding_entity and spend fields as null.
Despite this, the eu_total_reach value is always null.
