(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2022/850 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 May 2022 on a computerised system for the cross-border electronic exchange of data in the area of judicial cooperation in civil and criminal matters (e-CODEX system), and amending Regulation (EU) 2018/1726 (1), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) A handover and takeover process should take place between the entity managing the e-CODEX system and the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large-Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu-LISA) in accordance with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2520 (2).

(2) The entity managing the e-CODEX system submitted on 16 December 2022 a common handover document to eu-LISA specifying the detailed arrangements for the transfer of the e-CODEX system, including the criteria for a successful handover process and for the successful completion of that process and related documentation.

(3) The entity managing the e-CODEX system submitted a handover report on 4 July 2023 and eu-LISA submitted a takeover report on 30 June 2023. Those reports indicated the state of play of the activities undertaken in the context of the handover and takeover process. On the basis of those reports, the Commission updated the European Parliament and the Council on the handover and takeover process in July 2023.

(4) The takeover of e-CODEX system by eu-LISA should only take place once the Commission has declared that the process of handover and takeover has been successfully completed.

(5) In the context of its role in monitoring the handover and takeover process, the Commission consulted the entity managing the e-CODEX system and eu-LISA on the progress of the process. The entity managing the e-CODEX system and eu-LISA submitted on 8 December 2023 a joint request to the Commission to declare the successful completion of the handover and takeover process. The Commission has verified the criteria for a successful handover as well as the criteria for a successful takeover. On that basis, the Commission has concluded that eu-LISA is ready to assume formal responsibility for the e-CODEX system.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

1. The successful completion of the handover and takeover process of the e-CODEX system is declared.

2. eu-LISA shall take over responsibility for the e-CODEX system on 3 June 2024.
