EU Training for Service Providers

The European Commission is hosting ‘Train the Trainer’ training sessions specifically for service providers subject to the EU e-Evidence Package, which will come into effect later this year.

The training will focus on how service providers can use the decentralised IT system in order to receive/respond to European Preservation and Production Orders issued under the e-Evidence package. The decentralised IT system is a secure communication channel which will allow service providers to directly receive requests for electronic evidence (European Preservation and Production Orders) from law enforcement and judicial authorities across the EU. Service providers will be connected to the decentralised IT system through a national IT system, which will be installed by each EU country.

The training sessions are intended to teach subject matter experts or relevant employees how the new system will work, so that they can, in turn, share this knowledge with relevant colleagues in their organisation. For this reason, we ask service providers to consider the number of representatives who need to attend, as there will be restrictions on the number of attendees for each training event.

The training will be delivered by the European Commission and will take place throughout May and June on the following dates:

• 6th May 2026
• 20th May 2026
• 27th May 2026
• 10th June 2026
• 17th June 2026
• 24th June 2026

To register your interest in attending one of these training sessions, please email the e-Evidence Implementation Team at eevidencecontact@justice.ie. The Team will pass on your details to the European Commission, who will ultimately confirm your place on the training session.

Please include the following details in your email:

• Your company name;
• The representative(s) from your company who are interested in attending the session;
• The email addresses of the representative(s);
• Two dates from the above list that your representative(s) are available to attend.

Please note these sessions are intended to be ‘Train the Trainer’ sessions and places will be limited.
