Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

amending Regulation (EU) No 216/2013 on the electronic publication of the Official Journal of the European Union

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

Pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 216/2013
  1
  , the Official Journal of the European Union is published in electronic form. In order to guarantee the authenticity, integrity and inalterability of this electronic publication, Article 2(1) of this Regulation states that ‘the electronic edition... shall bear an advanced electronic signature based on a qualified certificate and created with a secure-signature-creation device, in accordance with Directive 1999/93/EC’.

Directive 1999/93/EC of 13 December 1999 on a Community framework for electronic signatures was repealed by Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 of 23 July 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market
  2
  , which came into force on 1 July 2016. In addition to the electronic signature and the advanced electronic signature already provided for by Directive 1999/93, Regulation No 910/2014 introduced the possibility of authenticating a document with an electronic seal or an advanced electronic seal based on a certificate for an electronic seal. The main difference between the (advanced) electronic signature and the (advanced) electronic seal is that, in the former case, the signatory is a natural person (Article 3, points 9 and 14 of Regulation No 910/2014), whereas in the latter case, the signatory is a legal person (Article 3, points 24 and 29 of Regulation No 910/2014).

The use of this advanced electronic seal would make it possible to automate the electronic signature and accelerate the procedure for publication on EUR-Lex.

Since authentication by an electronic seal rather than an electronic signature is not merely a different electronic system but makes an actual difference in legal terms (in the case of a signature, the authentication method is based on the involvement of a specific natural person; where a seal is used, it is created by the legal person with no indication of who, within the legal person, was responsible for authenticating the document), Regulation No 216/2013 should be amended to allow the Official Journal to be authenticated by an advanced electronic seal.

•Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

•

Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

The purpose of the proposed amendment is to introduce, for the electronic publication of the Official Journal, the option - offered by Regulation No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market - of authenticating a document by an electronic seal.
