Article 3U.K.ID issuer
1.Each Member State shall appoint an entity (the ‘ID issuer’) responsible for generating and issuing unique identifiers, in accordance with Articles 8, 9, 11 and 13, within a maximum period of one year from the date of entry into force of this Implementing Regulation.
2.Member States shall ensure that an ID issuer that intends to have recourse to subcontractors for the performance of its functions shall only be considered for appointment if the identity of any subcontractors proposed has been communicated to them.
3.The ID issuer shall be independent and comply with the criteria set out in Article 35.
4.Each ID issuer shall be equipped with a unique identification code. The code shall be composed of alphanumeric characters and comply with the International Organization for Standardisation/International Electrotechnical Commission standard (‘ISO/IEC’) 15459-2:2015.
5.Where the same ID issuer is appointed in more than one Member State, it shall be identifiable by the same code.
6.Member States shall notify the Commission of the appointment of the ID issuer and of its identification code within one month of its appointment.
7.Member States shall ensure that information related to the identity of the ID issuer appointed and its identification code is made publicly available and accessible online.
8.Each Member State shall put in place adequate measures to ensure:
(a)that the ID issuer it has appointed continues to comply with the requirement of independence in accordance with Article 35; and
(b)the continuous operation of the services provided by successive ID issuers, in case a new ID issuer is appointed to take over the services from the previous ID issuer. For this purpose Member States shall require the ID issuer to develop an exit plan laying down the procedure to be followed to guarantee the continuity of the operations until the new ID issuer is appointed.
9.The ID issuer may establish and charge fees to economic operators solely for generating and issuing unique identifiers. Fees are to be non-discriminatory and proportionate to the number of unique identifiers generated and issued to economic operators taking into account the mode of delivery.
