Electronic Services Card (E-Card) (Directive/Regulation)

In cep’s view, the proposed Directive and Regulation on the introduction of an E-Card forces Member States to implement, in addition to the Point of Single Contact, a second organisational structure for the registration and approval under commercial law of service providers from other EU countries. In addition, the proposed Regulation is unlawful because it cannot be based on Art. 114 TFEU but only on Art. 53 and 62 TFEU, and the latter only authorise the adoption of Directives.
