Trust services
Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (incorporated into UK law at the end of the EU Transition Period under section 3 of the EUWA 2018) as amended by the Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019/89, provides the legal framework for the use of trust services in the UK and the recognition of equivalent EU trust services.
	The Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions Regulations 2016 (EITSET Regulations) further implement Regulation (EU) No 910/2014, designating the Information Commissioner (the "IC") as the UK’s supervisory body and setting out an enforcement regime. The EITSET Regulations were amended by the DPA 2018 to reflect changes in the IC’s investigative powers.
	The provisions in the Act aim to support the effective functioning and ongoing development of the UK trust services market.
