e-Evidence Directive Article 7: Transposition
1. Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 18 February 2026. They shall immediately communicate the text of those measures to the Commission.
2. When Member States adopt those measures, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.
3. Member States shall communicate to the Commission the text of the measures of national law which they adopt in the field covered by this Directive.
The e-Evidence package is two instruments and the representative duty is in this one, the Directive. Regulation (EU) 2023/1543, published beside it, is what creates the production and preservation orders a represented provider actually receives; it is a separate dataset in this library. The Directive is a Directive, so the binding obligations live in each Member State's transposing law and this is the text those laws implement.
