Designated tech contact points to provide electronic evidence to authorities
Official title: Wetsontwerp betreffende de contactpunten van bepaalde aanbieders die zijn belast met het beantwoorden van de verzoeken om verstrekking of bevriezing van elektronisch bewijsmateriaal van de overheden.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- Certain digital companies, telecom providers, and connected vehicle makers must establish an official contact point to handle authorities' requests to freeze or produce electronic data.
- This affects digital service providers, telecom operators, and connected car companies, with regulator BIPT monitoring compliance and enforcing penalties if rules are broken.
- For you as a citizen, daily life remains unchanged, but law enforcement and judicial authorities will be able to retrieve digital evidence more quickly during criminal investigations.
