Introduction

  • Only public sector bodies—Union entities and Member States—can establish or participate in sandboxes. 
  • Cross-border by default: At least three public authorities or Union entities must jointly agree to establish a sandbox. These must either come from different Member States or include both a Union entity and a Member State. 
  • Relevant regulators, including data protection authorities when personal data is involved, must be consulted. 
  • Each project in a sandbox must be based on a detailed plan outlining roles, risks, milestones, and reporting. 
  • GovTech actors (i.e. SMEs, companies, standardisation bodies) may join upon request. 

You are looking for partners in other Member States or Union entities to establish an interoperability regulatory sandbox?
