Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Paragraph 1 now states that secure signature creation devices assessed under the earlier Directive continue to be considered qualified electronic signature creation devices only until 21 May 2027, rather than being considered so without an end date.
Paragraph 2 now sets 21 May 2026 as the date until which qualified certificates issued to natural persons under the earlier Directive continue to be considered qualified certificates, replacing the earlier text's rule that they remained qualified until their own expiry.
Paragraph 3 no longer concerns a certification-service-provider's submission of a conformity assessment report by 1 July 2017, and instead addresses the management of remote qualified electronic signature and seal creation devices by qualified trust service providers other than those covered by Articles 29a and 39a, permitting that management without qualified status until 21 May 2026; paragraph 4 likewise no longer addresses the consequence of missing the 1 July 2017 deadline, and instead requires qualified trust service providers granted qualified status before 20 May 2024 to submit a conformity assessment report on compliance with Article 24(1), (1a) and (1b) by 21 May 2026.
