Commission comitology committee begins work on approximately 20 EHDS implementing acts

The comitology committee responsible for the EHDS implementing acts has started its work. Composed of Member State representatives and chaired by the Commission, the committee must adopt approximately 20 implementing acts covering technical specifications for EHR exchange formats, EHR system requirements, and secure processing environment standards by 26 March 2027. Until these acts are finalised, EHR vendors and health data holders face regulatory uncertainty on the exact technical requirements they must meet. One year to adopt 20 acts is an ambitious timeline — any slippage here delays everything downstream, from the 2029 primary use deadline to the 2031 full operational date.
