COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2015/1505
of 8 September 2015
laying down technical specifications and formats relating to trusted lists pursuant to Article 22(5) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and repealing Directive 1999/93/EC (1), and in particular Article 22(5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Trusted lists are essential for the building of trust among market operators as they indicate the status of the service provider at the moment of supervision. |
(2) |
The cross-border use of electronic signatures has been facilitated through Commission Decision 2009/767/EC (2) which has set the obligation for Member States to establish, maintain and publish trusted lists including information related to certification service providers issuing qualified certificates to the public in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) and which are supervised and accredited by the Member States. |
(3) |
Article 22 of Regulation (EC) No 910/2014/EU provides the obligation for Member States to establish, maintain and publish trusted lists, in a secured manner, electronically signed or sealed in a form suitable for automated processing and to notify to the Commission the bodies responsible for establishing the national trusted lists. |
(4) |
A trust service provider and the trust services it provides should be considered qualified when the qualified status is associated to the provider in the trusted list. In order to ensure that other obligations stemming from Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, in particular those set in Articles 27 and 37, may be easily fulfilled by the service providers at a distance and by electronic means and in order to meet the legitimate expectations of other certification-service-providers who are not issuing qualified certificates but provide services related to electronic signatures under Directive 1999/93/EC and are listed by 30 June 2016, it should be possible for Member States to add trust services other than the qualified ones in the trusted lists, on a voluntary basis, at national level, provided that it is clearly indicated that they are not qualified according to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. |
(5) |
In line with recital 25 of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, Member States may add other types of nationally defined trust services than those defined under Article 3(16) of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, provided that it is clearly indicated that they are not qualified according to Regulation (EU) No 910/2014. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 48 of Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Member States shall establish, publish and maintain trusted lists including information on the qualified trust service providers which they supervise, as well as information on the qualified trust services provided by them. Those lists shall comply with the technical specifications set out in Annex I.
Article 2
Member States may include in the trusted lists information on non-qualified trust service providers, together with information related to the non-qualified trust services provided by them. The list shall clearly indicate which trust service providers and the trust services...
