| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Where a European Business Wallet owner makes use of any of the core functionalities of a European Business Wallet referred to in Article 5(1), the resulting action shall have the same legal effect as if the action had been lawfully carried out in person, in paper form, or via any other means or processes that would be deemed compliant with applicable legal, administrative, or procedural requirements. | Where a European Business Wallet owner makes use of any of the core functionalities of a European Business Wallet referred to in Article 5(1), the resulting action shall have the same legal effect as if the action had been lawfully carried out in person, in paper form, or via any other means or processes that would be deemed compliant with applicable legal, administrative, or procedural requirements. Public sector bodies may, in accordance with Union and national law, provide that the use of European Business Wallets constitutes the standard channel for performing such actions, provided that this does not deprive economic operators of access to procedures and takes into account the specific situation of SMEs and micro-enterprises. |
Clarifies that authorities can legitimately make the Wallet the standard channel for covered interactions, reinforcing simplification and uptake, while safeguarding access and proportionality for smaller operators.

The use of the core functionalities shall have the same legal effect as actions and transactions lawfully carried out in person, in paper form, or via any other means or processes that would be deemed compliant with applicable legal, administrative, or procedural requirements. |

This relates only to the legal effect of the digital means of transmission and authentication. |

Principiul echivalenței juridice este formulat în sens prea larg, putând chiar să trateze acțiunile ilicite care rezultă din utilizarea unui portofel european pentru întreprinderi „ca și cum” ar fi fost „efectuate în mod legal”. Ar trebui clarificat faptul că domeniul de aplicare al principiului echivalenței este limitat de cadrul juridic stabilit al Regulamentului (UE) nr. 910/2014, astfel cum a fost modificat prin Regulamentul (UE) 2024/1183, care ar include deferența regulamentului respectiv față de controalele preventive publice care protejează credibilitatea registrelor publice – în special a registrului comerțului – ca sursă esențială de securitate juridică în tranzacțiile transfrontaliere, astfel cum se specifică în considerentul 46 din Regulamentul (UE) 2024/1183.

The principle of legal equivalence is formulated too broadly, potentially treating illicit actions via a European Business Wallet "as if" they had been "lawfully carried out". It should be clarified that its scope is circumscribed by Regulation (EU) 910/2014 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2-24/1183, including deference to public preventive controls safeguarding the trustworthiness of public registers - especially the commercial register - as key to legal certainty in cross-border transactions as specified in Recital 46 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1183.

Action performed by an authorised representative must be equivalent in its effects to that by European Business Wallet owners.

| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Electronic attestations of attributes issued or exchanged through a European Business Wallet shall be admissible as documentary evidence in civil and commercial proceedings before the courts of the Member States without requiring apostille, legalisation or any additional form of authentication. No legal effect, validity or enforceability shall be denied to such attestations solely on the grounds that they are in electronic form. Courts shall not require the production of a paper equivalent of an attestation validly presented through a European Business Wallet. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| This principle of equivalence shall be without prejudice to procedural requirements which may form part of an administrative procedure and which cannot be fulfilled by the core functionalities of the European Business Wallets, such as requirements relating to complementary public controls, including on identity, legal capacity and legality. |
Textul și obiectivul de reglementare al considerentului 6 din propunerea de regulament ar trebui, de asemenea, să fie consacrate în partea obligatorie din punct de vedere juridic a regulamentului, pentru a se asigura că beneficiile sociale ale controalelor preventive publice, cum ar fi protecția consumatorilor în tranzacțiile cu risc ridicat, nu pot fi eludate prin utilizarea funcționalităților de bază ale portofelului european pentru întreprinderi. În acest scop, controalele preventive efectuate de autoritățile publice neutre pentru a asigura cunoașterea sau înțelegerea conținutului unui document sau a implicațiilor semnării unui contract, precum și legalitatea acestuia sunt garanții sociale esențiale pe care regulamentul propus nu ar trebui să le împiedice.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| The principle of equivalence established by paragraph 1 shall not be construed as waiving or superseding any requirement of form, authentication, notarisation, legalisation or registration imposed by Union or national law as a condition of the validity, enforceability or third-party effect of the legal act concerned. Where a legal act requires the intervention of a competent public authority or official under applicable national or Union law, the European Business Wallet may serve as a channel for digital communication or document delivery but shall not substitute for that intervention. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| Article4a | |
| This principle of equivalence is without prejudice to procedural requirements that might be part of an administrative procedure and that cannot be fulfilled by the core functionalities of the European Business Wallets such as requirements related to complementary public controls including of identity, legal capacity, and legality. | |
| 1a | |
| 1a Amendment for a new paragraph 3 |
The text and regulatory aim of Recital 6 of the proposed regulation should be enshrined in binding provisions to ensure the social benefits of public preventive controls, especially consumer protection in high-risk transactions, cannot be circumvented through the European Business Wallet’s core functions. In particular, checks by neutral public authorities ensuring awareness and understanding of the content of documents, the implications of signing, and their legality are essential social safeguards that the regulation should not preclude.
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 1. Providers of European Business Wallets shall ensure that the European Business Wallets they provide enable European Business Wallet owners to make use of the following core functionalities: | 1. Providers of European Business Wallets shall ensure that the European Business Wallets they provide offer the following core functionalities, allowing owners to utilize any combination of these features at their own discretion: |

| (i) provide certified evidence of their legal existence and representation; | |

Providers of European Business Wallets may provide European Business Wallets to economic operators established in a third country under the condition that such economic operators have been issued European Business Wallet owner identification data and a unique identifier in accordance with this Article, and, where available, have been identified with a Legal Entity Identifier. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| 4 a. 4a. Before issuing a European Business Wallet to an economic operator established outside the Union, providers shall carry out a risk-based assessment to identify whether the operator, its beneficial owners or entities exercising control over it: | |
| (a) are subject to Union restrictive measures in force; | |
| (b) have been designated under Union or national regimes for money-laundering, terrorist financing or serious organised crime; or | |
| (c) are engaged in activities that could seriously undermine the Union’s security, public order or strategic interests. | |
| Where such risks are identified and cannot be effectively mitigated, the provider shall refuse to issue the European Business Wallet and shall inform the competent supervisory body. |
Establishes a specific, risk‑based screening obligation for third‑country economic operators before a European Business Wallet is issued. It ensures that access to the Wallet is consistent with existing Union policies on sanctions, anti‑money‑laundering and terrorist financing, and security, while still allowing proportionate, case‑by‑case assessments rather than automatic blanket exclusions.
