effective on October 1, 2000. European Union—The EU Directive on Electronic Signatures (Directive 1999/93/EC) was
signed in December 1999 to establish a common framework for electronic signatures. United Kingdom—The United Kingdom has adopted and implemented certain provisions
of the EU’s Electronic Commerce Directive in the Electronic Communications Act 2000, which makes electronic signatures legally admissible.
