e-Evidence Regulation (e-Evidence Regulation)

Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023 on European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders for electronic evidence in criminal proceedings and for the execution of custodial sentences following criminal proceedings

The e-Evidence Regulation has 102 recitals. They are reproduced in this library's dataset and are deliberately not published as pages, because the recitals are reasoning rather than obligation and the articles are where the duties are. Read them at the official source.

CHAPTER VI: FINAL PROVISIONS

This Regulation creates the orders. The duty to designate someone to receive them is in Directive (EU) 2023/1544, the other half of the package and a separate dataset here. A buyer of the e-Evidence representative mandate is in scope of the Directive and receives what this Regulation issues, which is why both are in the library.
