EU electronic signatures directive comes into force
As of 19 July 2001 advanced electronic signatures have the same binding force as a handwritten one in the EU. Although not all Member States have yet fully implemented the directive, this means documents can be signed via electronic means and have the same legal consequences as a document signed with a traditional signature.
