Examples include non-EU SaaS providers, global cloud providers, international marketplaces and non-EU telcos such as MVNOs and transit carriers. The legal representative must be located in a participating Member State. It must also be notified to the competent authority, which in Germany is the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Justiz.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>What is a designated establishment?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">A designated establishment is the addressee that an EU-established provider names for e-Evidence orders. It is one of the provider&#8217;s own establishments in a participating Member State. Like a legal representative, it must be notified to the competent authority and able to receive and act on orders. ICS helps EU providers set it up and operate it when internal resources are limited.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Can ICS act as our legal representative?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">Yes. ICS offers a legal representative e-Evidence service for providers that are not established in the EU. ICS supports the notification, receives EPOC and EPOC-PR orders 24\/7 and performs an initial validation. Validated orders are routed securely to your legal or compliance team. ICS also coordinates with authorities and documents each step in an audit trail.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Is the provider still liable if ICS is the legal representative?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">Yes. Appointing a legal representative does not transfer the provider&#8217;s obligations. The provider remains responsible for compliance with the e-Evidence rules. Both the provider and its addressee can be held liable. Penalties under the Regulation can reach up to 2 % of total worldwide annual turnover. Clear routing, fast decisions and complete documentation therefore matter on both sides.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>Where must the addressee be notified in Germany?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">In Germany, the competent authority is the Bundesamt f\u00fcr Justiz, the Federal Office of Justice. Providers must notify their designated establishment or legal representative, including contact details, and keep that information current. ICS supports the initial notification and later updates. In other participating Member States, the notification goes to the authority each Member State has named.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-bottom-color:#dbe5ef;border-bottom-width:1px;padding-top:18px;padding-right:4px;padding-bottom:18px;padding-left:4px;font-size:18px\"><summary><strong>How are orders delivered to the legal representative?<\/strong><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">Orders are delivered via the decentralized IT system based on e-CODEX and, where applicable, through other secure national channels. ICS receives orders on both routes around the clock. Each order is registered, checked for jurisdiction and formal requirements, and forwarded to your team with its deadline.
