# e-Evidence Regulation Article 24: Transition period

_CHAPTER V_

Before the obligation to carry out written communication through the decentralised IT system referred to in Article 19 becomes applicable (‘transition period’), the written communication between competent authorities and designated establishments or legal representatives under this Regulation shall take place by the most appropriate alternative means, taking into account the need to ensure a swift, secure and reliable exchange of information. Where service providers, Member States or Union agencies or bodies have established dedicated platforms or other secure channels for the handling of requests for data by law enforcement authorities and judicial authorities, issuing authorities may also choose to transmit an EPOC or an EPOC-PR via those channels to designated establishments or legal representatives during the transition period.
