According to the government, the proposed law with supplementary provisions to the EU regulation would allow prosecutors and, in some cases, other law enforcement authorities to issue a European surrender or preservation order. Prosecutors are proposed to be able to decide on the execution of such an order issued by an authority in another member state. The prosecution authority is proposed to be able to decide on sanctions for violations of the EU regulation, though the specific types of sanctions have not been detailed.
The government also proposes a law to implement the EU directive, which includes requiring certain service providers to appoint a recipient for decisions and requests concerning the collection of electronic evidence. A central authority is proposed to have supervisory responsibility and be able to decide on sanctions, but its identity or name has not been specified. The law with supplementary provisions to the EU regulation is proposed to enter into force on August 18, 2026.
The law implementing the EU directive's provisions is proposed to enter into force partially on July 1, 2026 and partially on August 19, 2026. Some consequential amendments are proposed to enter into force on August 18, 2026. The specific EU regulation and directive being referenced in the proposals are not identified in the announcement.
