## 6.2.2. Provision for electronic means of implementing specific contracts, and ordering and receiving services 

For all exchanges with the Contractor during the implementation of the FWC666 as well as for future possible subsequent proceedings for the purposes of EDES (European Union's Early Detection and Exclusion System) ECHA may use an electronic exchange system in line with the requirements of Article 148 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 July 2018 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union. At the request of ECHA the use of such a system shall become mandatory for the Contractor(s) at no additional cost for ECHA. Details on specifications, access, terms and conditions of use will be provided in advance. 

The Agency is planning to set up an electronic exchange system during the foreseen duration of this Framework Contract. All exchanges with recipients, including the entering into legal commitments and any amendments thereto, may be done through such system. 

In such an electronic exchange system, the Specific Contracts shall be implemented in an electronic form. An electronic form of documents and exchange has no impacts to the conditions of the contract or to the contractual terms.
