Recital 39 a (new)
(39a) Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies can significantly enhance access to distributed datasets across the Union, facilitate notarisation of documents, and enable traceability of transactions or movement of products in a way that is secure and compliant with the EU acquis. They reinforce trust in applications involving multiple stakeholders, enhance collaborative models and enable the defragmentation of distributed datasets. This will lead to quality and efficiency gains, reducing administrative burden, in particular for regulatory reporting and auditing, combating and limiting fraud, incentivising the adoption of best practices and ethical behaviours. Moreover strengthening capacities in Europe to develop and exploit Blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies will reinforce digital innovation ecosystems in Europe and help position European actors amongst the leaders of a new internet economy.
