EU Authorised Representative

If you sell into the EU with no EU establishment, three separate regulations require you to appoint a representative established in the Union. Morclear Europe holds that mandate under written appointment, for a fixed annual fee.

Morclear Europe is an Irish incorporated company holding representative mandates for businesses with no establishment of their own inside the Union. The role is defined in law, carries a defined set of duties, and is priced as a fixed annual fee rather than an hourly engagement.

What the designation actually does

Until a designation is on file, the obligation is unmet from the day you begin offering services to people in the EU. The representative is the party a regulator writes to when it cannot write to you, and the party expected to produce your documentation when an authority asks for it.

One address, one named contact, one annual fee.

Three Laws, One Requirement

What this means for you

If any one of these applies to you, the obligation is already running. A thirty minute call tells you which of the three you are caught by and which of your entities are in scope.

GDPR Article 27

Controllers and processors outside the EU who offer goods or services to people in the EU, or monitor their behaviour, must designate a representative in writing in a Member State where those individuals are located.

AI Act Articles 22 & 54

Providers established outside the Union must appoint an authorised representative by written mandate before placing a high-risk AI system on the market. The same requirement applies to providers of general-purpose AI models.

NIS2 Article 26

DNS and cloud providers, data centres, content delivery networks, managed service and managed security providers, online marketplaces, search engines and social platforms established outside the Union must designate a representative in the Union.

What We Do As Your Representative

What this means for you

You get an EU address and a named contact without incorporating in Europe, hiring anyone, or taking on an office lease. Regulator post reaches your desk instead of an empty mailbox.

Named Designation

You name Morclear Europe as your representative on your website, in your documentation, and in your regulatory filings, with our Irish registered address.

Records Held At Disposal

We hold the records the relevant law requires to be kept available to supervisory authorities, including your mandate, your technical documentation, and your declaration of conformity where applicable.

Correspondence Routing

We receive correspondence from national competent authorities, supervisory authorities, and individuals, and route it to your named contact within one working day.

Authority Cooperation

We respond to authority requests for documentation we hold, and cooperate with any action an authority takes in relation to your systems or your processing.

How The Mandate Runs

What this means for you

Ten working days from the first call to being covered on the point, then it runs in the background and you hear from us when something arrives or the year turns.

Morclear Renews annually 01 Scope Regimes and entities 02 Mandate Signed both ways 03 Records Held at disposal 04 Route One working day 05 Renew Annual confirmation
01 Scope

A call at no cost establishes which of the three regimes apply, which legal entities are caught, and which systems sit inside the mandate.

02 Mandate

A written appointment signed by both parties, setting out the duties, the term, the fee and the notice period.

03 Records

You supply the documentation the law requires us to hold. We confirm receipt in writing and keep it retrievable for the retention period the relevant regime sets.

04 Route

You publish our details. From that date we receive correspondence from authorities and individuals and pass it to your named contact within one working day, with the original preserved.

05 Renew

An annual confirmation letter you can put in front of a board or an auditor, and a review of scope against anything that changed in your products, your entities or the law.

What Is Included

A written mandate signed by both parties. Your designation as representative under the regimes in scope. Custody of the documentation the law requires us to hold. Receipt and routing of regulator and individual correspondence within one working day. Responses to authority requests for documents we hold. A single named point of contact. An annual confirmation letter you can put in front of a board or an auditor.

Quoted Separately

Classification of your systems. Drafting of technical documentation. Conformity assessment. Compliance programme build. Advice on your risk position. Regulatory investigation response beyond the cooperation duty. Where the mandate obliges us to hold documentation, that documentation must exist and must be supplied by you. Each additional engagement is agreed in writing before any work begins.

Representative Pricing

What this means for you

One figure, agreed in writing before you sign, covering the full annual term. Nothing is billed by the hour and nothing changes mid-term without your agreement.

Single Mandate
€2,500* per year

Representation under one of the three regimes. Annual term, renewing, terminable on notice at the end of each term.

Combined Mandate
€4,500* per year

Representation under GDPR, the AI Act, and NIS2 together, with one point of contact and a single record set covering all three.

Who this is for

Technology and financial services businesses in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, and Asia-Pacific with European customers and no European office. The trigger is whether you sell to, process the data of, or supply AI systems and digital infrastructure into the EU market, not where your servers happen to sit.
