Part 7: Other provision about use of, or access to, data Trust services Section 133: Co-operation between supervisory authority and overseas authorities
Section 133 amends Article 18(1) of the eIDAS Regulation to allow the Secretary of State by regulations to designate certain overseas regulators or supervisory bodies, with which the Commissioner as supervisory body for trust services within the UK, may give information, assistance to, or otherwise cooperate with in the interests of effective regulation or supervision trust services. This will replace the ability of the Commissioner to share information and cooperate with any public authority within the EU specifically. New Article 18(4) provides that the Secretary of State must consult the Commissioner, before making regulations under this Article.
	The amendment made to Article 18(2) under subsection (4) is not intended to change the substantive effect of that paragraph. The words in brackets are intended to clarify the relationship between the restrictions in the data protection legislation and the power under new Article 18(1), making clear that this power is to be taken into account when applying the data protection legislation.
