European Union: European Commission opened consultation on draft implementing regulation on conduct of certain proceedings pursuant to AI Act including measures on access to data

On 12 March 2026, the European Commission opened a consultation on the draft Implementing Regulation on detailed arrangements for the conduct of certain proceedings pursuant to the Artificial Intelligence Act, until 9 April 2026. The draft stipulates that when the Commission adopts a decision requesting access, the provider must furnish all necessary elements in a timely and effective manner. This access may include application programming interfaces (APIs), internal access, source code, model weights, and the infrastructure used for hosting the model. The Commission may also require providers to disable logging measures that could track or record the Commission's access. The draft mandates that providers allow the Commission to inspect and modify system state interactions. Furthermore, the draft clarifies that the access granted should match the levels available to the provider's own employees. The Implementing Regulation is set to enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
