THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:
(1) Article 85c(3) of Directive 2001/83/EC provides that a common logo recognisable throughout the Union should be established, which will enable the identification of the Member State where the person offering medicinal products for sale at a distance to the public by means of information society services is established.
(2) Pursuant to Article 85c(3)(a) of Directive 2001/83/EC, the Commission should adopt implementing acts in order to harmonise the functioning of common logo regarding the technical, electronic and cryptographic requirements for verification of the authenticity of the common logo. These requirements should provide for a high level of security and prevent any fraudulent use of the logo.
(3) In line with Article 85c(1)(d)(iii) the verification of the authenticity of the common logo is done via a hyperlink between the logo and the entry of the person authorised or entitled to offer medicinal products for sale at a distance to the public by means of information society services on the list referred to in Article 85c(4)(c). Therefore, these hyperlinks should be permanent and secured.
(4) In order to prevent a fraudulent use of the logo, the national websites referred to Article 85c(4) should be secured, updated and hosted on trusted domains.
