    eIDAS AND E-SIGNATURE A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE: ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION WHITE PAPER TABLE OF CONTENTS Part 1: Introduction 3 Key Highlights of the eIDAS Regulation 4 Legal Effect of Different Types of Signatures 6 Regulation of Trust Services 7 Legal Best Practices 8 Part 2: Compliance With the Regulation 9 Advanced Electronic Signatures 9 Qualified Electronic Signatures 10 Format Standards 12 Additional Evidence 12 Conclusion 13 E-Signature Solution Checklist 14 About the Authors This paper is a collaboration between Lorna Brazell of Osborne Clarke LLP and OneSpan. In part one, Osborne Clarke provides a legal opinion on the legal validity of electronic signature in the European Union. Part two has been prepared by OneSpan, and summarizes best practices recommendations for legal compliance when implementing e-signatures. eIDAS & E-SIGNATURE: A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE FOLLOW US 2 PART 1 Introduction The 2014 Regulation on Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transaction in the Internal Market1 (“eIDAS”) went into effect throughout the European Union (“EU”) on 1 July 2016, replacing the 1999 Directive on electronic signatures2 (“the Directive”). Although the Directive had not been the subject of any disputes in its 16-year history, neither had it been a success. Its objective, to enable the widespread use of electronic signatures to conduct business across borders within the EU, was not met. There Are Three Key Reasons for This: I. Most EU Member States’ laws do not specify any form of signature for commercial contracts other than guarantees or contracts assigning real property. II. Many people mistakenly believed that the Directive mandated the use of advanced electronic signatures supported by a qualified certificate3 in order for an electronic signature to be legally effective.

  • Eidas Regulation Questions & Answers
    eIDAS Regulation Questions & Answers on rules applicable to Trust Services as of 1 July 2016 The eIDAS Regulation (Regulation (EU) N°910/2014) on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS Regulation) adopted by the co-legislators on 23 July 2014 is a milestone as it provides a predictable regulatory environment for electronic identification and trust services, including electronic signatures, seals, time stamps, registered delivery and website authentication. As of 1 July 2016, the provisions applicable to trust services apply directly in the 28 Member States. This means that trust services under eIDAS are no longer regulated by national laws. As a result, the qualified trust services are recognised independently of the Member State where the Qualified Trust Service Provider is established or where the specific qualified trust service is offered. What’s new? What changes with regard to the former eSignature Directive? What must be done at national level? How does it impact market operators? How does it benefit the users (citizens, businesses and public administrations)? What has the Commission done to facilitate the switchover? These questions and many others have been asked along the road since the adoption. We have compiled this Q&A document to help those of you who need to fully understand the new legal framework in order to implement it or reap the benefits of electronic transactions, as well as those of you who are curious about the Regulation’s various implications. I. What is new? How will the legal effect of electronic signature change under eIDAS (compared to the regime under the eSignature Directive) as from 1 July 2016? Since 1 July 2016, when the trust services’ provisions under the eIDAS Regulation entered into application, an electronic signature can only be used by a natural person to “sign”, i.e.
