  "bluf": "Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1420 of 17 July 2025 lays down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) 2024/903 (Interoperable Europe Act), specifically regarding the establishment and operation of interoperability regulatory sandboxes. An interoperability regulatory sandbox must be established through a specific agreement between at least three Union entities or public sector bodies, for an initial period not exceeding three years. The regulatory sandbox must meet criteria including a description of objectives, a governance plan, risk management, and evaluation framework. Before formalising the agreement, the sandbox must be notified to and authorised by the Commission. Regulatory sandbox coordinators must designate a single point of contact, manage operations, and ensure periodic reporting to the Commission and the Interoperable Europe Board at least once every six months. Participants may include GovTech actors such as SMEs and startups. Risk management requires a specific risk management plan for each project, with a designated risk manager. Participants must assume full responsibility for the legality of activities. The Commission will maintain a dedicated interface on the Interoperable Europe Portal. Renewal or substantial changes require a new notification procedure. Closing requires submission of a final report within three months.",
