scientific panel established pursuant to Article 68. Independent experts appointed for this task shall meet the criteria
outlined in Article 68(2).
3. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the Commission may request access to the general-purpose AI model concerned
through APIs or further appropriate technical means and tools, including source code.

In the case of legal persons, companies or firms, or where the provider has no legal personality, the persons authorised to
