28The second sentence of the second subparagraph of Article 61(2) of that regulation states that, for independent operators other than repairers, including publishers of technical information, that information must be given in a format that is capable of being electronically processed so that those operators can carry out the tasks associated with their business in the aftermarket supply chain. It should be added that that obligation for automotive manufacturers was introduced only during the legislative procedure relating to Regulation 2018/858 (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 September 2019, Gesamtverband Autoteile-Handel, C‑527/18, EU:C:2019:762, paragraph 34).
