CHAPTER V

e-Evidence Regulation Article 22: Reference implementation software

1. The Commission shall be responsible for the creation, maintenance and development of reference implementation software which Member States may choose to apply as their back-end system instead of a national IT system. The creation, maintenance and development of the reference implementation software shall be financed from the general budget of the Union.

2. The Commission shall provide, maintain and support the reference implementation software free of charge.

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.
