In the context of the European reform of the cross-border gathering of electronic evidence in criminal matters, the Czech Telecommunication Office is proposed as the central authority for the execution of the agenda under Directive (EU) 2023/1544 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023, under which selected service providers should notify the Office of designated establishments or appointed representatives for the purpose of European Production Orders and European Preservation Orders under Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2023. The relevant Czech implementing legislation is now in the legislative process. We expect it to be effective by August 2026 at the latest.

The European Commission has launched a call to inform the public and the sector about the Digital Networks Act (DNA) proposal.

The DNA Regulation is intended to replace, in particular, the 2018 European Electronic Communications Code, but also parts of other regulations, such as Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, from which it will take over the part containing rules on open internet access.                               

The EC is now giving everyone the opportunity to provide feedback, relevant information and comments. Anyone can comment until 16 April 2026. The form can be completed at the following address: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiative...                            

The EC will use the input received when further discussing the proposal in the course of the legislative process.

Today, the European Commission published a proposal for a regulation for the Digital Networks Act (DNA) and its accompanying documents. The proposal will now be subject to the standard legislative process in the EU, i.e. discussed by Member States' representatives in the Council of the EU and Members in the European Parliament. In particular, DNA will replace the 2018 European Electronic Communications Code, but also parts of other regulations, such as Regulation (EU) 2015/2120, from which it will take over the part containing rules on open internet access.
