What are qualified trust services?
With the implementation of Regulation (EU) N°910/2014, commonly known as eIDAS Regulation, the EU Member States have the obligation to establish, maintain and publish trust lists of qualified trust service providers and the services provided by them. The success of the initiative in the EU triggered the interest of many Third Countries who would like to replicate the European Trust Scheme.
The European Commission continuously receives requests from Third Countries for assistance in aligning their Trust Scheme with the European one. The goal is to enable the mutual recognition of trust services between the European Union and Third Countries.
