e-Evidence Regulation: Closing the implementation gap before August 2026

The EU e-Evidence Regulation applies on 18 August 2026. The technical infrastructure is not yet ready.

With six weeks to go, most Member States have yet to fully transpose the Directive. The decentralised IT system remains under development. Industry estimates indicate that providers need at least 18 months from confirmed technical specifications to build compliant systems, and those specifications have not been delivered anywhere in the EU.

Enforcing the law before the conditions to comply with it exist would be disproportionate. EuroISPA is calling on the Commission to act.

• Introduce a grace period tied to actual system readiness.
• Clarify the scope inconsistency between the Regulation and the Directive.
• Recognise the ability of cross-border providers to designate a central compliance hub.
• Protect providers acting in good faith from penalties caused by absent infrastructure.
