Integrating Judicial Digital Transformation Priorities into the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR) Framework

The document outlines a strategic proposal for integrating the European Trade Indexes Registry (EUTIR) into the EU’s digital justice and trade ecosystems. It emphasizes how EUTIR’a decentralized, interoperable registry built on blockchain-based infrastructure (EBSI)’can support the digital transformation of judicial systems by ensuring the authenticity, traceability, and integrity of trade-related data. By aligning with global standards such as LEI/vLEI, eIDAS 2.0, and MLETR, EUTIR enables secure cross-border data verification, enhances judicial cooperation, and facilitates compliance with EU regulations like eFTI, CBAM, and the Digital Product Passport (DPP). The document also calls for legislative enhancements to recognize EUTIR as a trusted verification layer, improve coordination among stakeholders (Economic Operators, Service Providers, Competent Authorities), and equip justice professionals with digital skills to handle AI-ready, machine-readable evidence. Ultimately, EUTIR is positioned as a cornerstone for legal certainty, efficient dispute resolution, and Europe’s leadership in sustainable, digital trade.
