3. e-CODEX pilots
Pilot 1 - Civil Claims:
Small Claims
European Payment Order (EPO)
Pilot 2 - Cross-border Mutual Legal Assistance:
European Arrest Warrant (EAW)
Secure cross-border exchange of sensitive data
Mutual recognition of financial penalties
Pilot 3 - Interconnection of Business Registers
These pilots are not simulations but will deliver true operational electronic
services supporting cross border legal procedures.

4. Legal basis for mutual recognition
of electronic ID in Europe
Directive 1999/93/EC on a ‘Community framework for electronic
signatures’
Proposal by the EC on a Regulation on e-ID and trust services
for electronic transactions in the internal market
Scope:
Mutual recognition of electronic identification
Electronic trust services:
Electronic signatures
Electronic seals
Time stamping
Electronic delivery service
Electronic documents admissibility
Website authentication

5. eID in e-CODEX
Aims to establish a model for the use of a European e-Identity framework in
data exchange between e-Justice applications, including:
Implementation in pilots and development of technical documents for a cross-border
authentication platform (eID)
Application integration through web services
Demonstration of possible usage for e-Identity in the European e-Justice Portal
Investigate the use of roles in e-Justice applications, their attribution to identities, and how
they can be mapped between applications. This has to take into account mandates and rights
both on a legal and technical level.
Analyse what is covered by existing projects such as STORK
Develop technical documents to build a solution for cross border digital signature, including
signing on the e-Justice Portal and validation of MS-s electronic signatures
Assure authenticity and integrity of documents and transactions

6. e-Signatures in e-CODEX

7. Find-a-Lawyer II
A lawyer as a representative of a claimant fills a form, signs it and sends it.
How can we prove electronically that someone is a lawyer?
Who can we trust?
Who is the source of information?
Where does the role verification take place?
FAL II uses the original sources from the bar associations in the MSs
e-CODEX connector adds to the form the Trust-OK token:
Integrity of the document and identity: done by the Trust-OK token
Role : WP4 (another document in the ASIC container)
At the European e-Justice portal (using FAL II) or the national service provider
(using the national database)

9. European LSP STORK 2.0
Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed 2.0 will contribute to the realization
of a single European electronic identification and authentication area. It does
so by building on the results of STORK, establishing interoperability of
different approaches at national and EU level, eID for persons, eID for legal
entities and
the facility to mandate.
STORK 2.0 will be a
step forward towards
the creation of a fully
operational framework
and infrastructure for
electronic identities and authentication in the EU.

10. European LSP STORK 2.0
Duration:
3 years (from April 2012 to March 2015)
Total Cost:
€ 18.655.151 (€8.762.974 EU contribution)
Use-cases:
eLearning and Academic Qualifications
eBanking
Public Services for Business
eHealth
These applications will facilitate borderless digital living and mobility in the EU,
enhancing the Digital Single Market for public and commercial services in alignment
with the Services Directive.

11. European LSP STORK 2.0
It does so through:
Exploiting experiences from four cross border, cross sector pilots with real
impact demonstrating the use and societal impact of the cross border, cross
sector infrastructure developed
Common specifications and building blocks for interoperable legal identities
and mandates, on top of the interoperability infrastructure developed in
STORK, following privacy rules (and advice from Art.29 Working Party) and
enabling secure operation
Solving within the scope of the pilots legal issues such as privacy/data
protection, liability, different National regimes

12. European LSP STORK 2.0
It does so through:
An update of the QAA model to include attributes, legal entities and
mandate agreements
eID packaged as a service for governments and businesses including a cost
model and promoting the business take-up of STORK
Addressing eID governance issues through the requirements for an
accreditation body
Investigating and promoting standardisation in the area of eID using STORK
2.0 solutions
A knowledge repository and awareness of the STORK 2.0 infrastructure and
its potential societal impact on business processes

13. eID in e-SENS
e-SENS: Electronic Simple European Networked Services
Duration: 3 years, starting from April 2013
An Identity, Security and Trust Subgroup will be established, the objective of which is to integrate the
existing solutions and to extend them to create reusable generic blocks for cross-sector authentication
and creation/validation of eID and e-Signatures. Additionally, this sub-group will look at issues of cross-
sector/cross-border service security mechanisms and trust establishment, needed when services based
on different technical and legal regulations are interconnected.
eID:
The work in the eID area will be aligned with the EC proposal for a new regulation focused on
mutual recognition of eID across Member State
Re-use of STORK 2.0.
In addition include cross-sector data and specific needs, such as those identified by epSOS in
eHealth, where the eID is used “on behalf of” and not directly and similar problems identified by e-
CODEX.
Based on these results an integrated framework to handle eID will be developed, addressing
several issues currently out of the scope of the past and running projects
