Article 36
Essential requirements regarding smart_contracts for executing data sharing agreements
1. The vendor of an application using smart_contracts or, in the absence thereof, the person whose trade, business or profession involves the deployment of smart_contracts for others in the context of executing an agreement or part of it, to make data available shall ensure that those smart_contracts comply with the following essential requirements of:
| (a) | robustness and access control, to ensure that the smart_contract has been designed to offer access control mechanisms and a very high degree of robustness to avoid functional errors and to withstand manipulation by third parties; |
| (b) | safe termination and interruption, to ensure that a mechanism exists to terminate the continued execution of transactions and that the smart_contract includes internal functions which can reset or instruct the contract to stop or interrupt the operation, in particular to avoid future accidental executions; |
| (c) | data archiving and continuity, to ensure, in circumstances in which a smart_contract must be terminated or deactivated, there is a possibility to archive the transactional data, smart_contract logic and code in order to keep the record of operations performed on the data in the past (auditability); |
| (d) | access control, to ensure that a smart_contract is protected through rigorous access control mechanisms at the governance and smart_contract layers; and |
| (e) | consistency, to ensure consistency with the terms of the data sharing agreement that the smart_contract executes. |
2. The vendor of a smart_contract or, in the absence thereof, the person whose trade, business or profession involves the deployment of smart_contracts for others in the context of executing an agreement or part of it, to make data available shall perform a conformity assessment with a view to fulfilling the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 and, on the fulfilment of those requirements, issue an EU declaration of conformity.
3. By drawing up the EU declaration of conformity, the vendor of an application using smart_contracts or, in the absence thereof, the person whose trade, business or profession involves the deployment of smart_contracts for others in the context of executing an agreement or part of it, to make data available shall be responsible for compliance with the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1.
4. A smart_contract that meets the harmonised_standards or the relevant parts thereof, the references of which are published in the Official Journal of the European Union, shall be presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 to the extent that those requirements are covered by such harmonised_standards or parts thereof.
5. The Commission shall, pursuant to Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, request one or more European standardisation organisations to draft harmonised_standards that satisfy the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article.
6. The Commission may, by means of implementing acts, adopt common_specifications covering any or all of the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 where the following conditions have been fulfilled:
| (a) | the Commission has requested, pursuant to Article 10(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012, one or more European standardisation organisations to draft a harmonised_standard that satisfies the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article and:
|
| (b) | no reference to harmonised_standards covering the relevant essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 of this Article is published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and no such reference is expected to be published within a reasonable period. |
Those implementing acts shall be adopted in accordance with the examination procedure referred to in Article 46(2).
7. Before preparing a draft implementing act referred to in paragraph 6 of this Article, the Commission shall inform the committee referred to in Article 22 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 that it considers that the conditions in paragraph 6 of this Article have been fulfilled.
8. When preparing the draft implementing act referred to in paragraph 6, the Commission shall take into account the advice of the EDIB and views of other relevant bodies or expert groups and shall duly consult all relevant stakeholders.
9. The vendor of a smart_contract or, in the absence thereof, the person whose trade, business or profession involves the deployment of smart_contracts for others in the context of executing an agreement or part of it, to make data available that meet the common_specifications established by implementing acts referred to in paragraph 6 or parts thereof shall be presumed to be in conformity with the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1 to the extent that those requirements are covered by such common_specifications or parts thereof.
10. Where a harmonised_standard is adopted by a European standardisation organisation and proposed to the Commission for the purpose of publishing its reference in the Official Journal of the European Union, the Commission shall assess the harmonised_standard in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012. Where the reference of a harmonised_standard is published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the Commission shall repeal the implementing acts referred to in paragraph 6 of this Article, or parts thereof which cover the same essential requirements as those covered by that harmonised_standard.
11. When a Member State considers that a common specification does not entirely satisfy the essential requirements laid down in paragraph 1, it shall inform the Commission thereof by submitting a detailed explanation. The Commission shall assess that detailed explanation and may, if appropriate, amend the implementing act establishing the common specification in question.
