European Commission's Response Strategies on Developing a Unified Digital Identity in Europe
The Center for Data Innovation has submitted comments on the European Commission's roadmap for the revision of the eIDAS Regulation - European Digital Identity (EUid). The roadmap, published by the European Commission, outlines three policy options to address the current shortcomings of the eIDAS regulation.
The first policy option proposed is to modernize the regulatory framework for digital identity. The Center for Data Innovation offers feedback on this option, emphasizing the need for a secure and user-friendly digital identity system that can be easily adopted by businesses and citizens within the EU.
Another policy option under consideration is to establish a new eID for EU citizens, known as EUid. The Center for Data Innovation proposes this as a policy option, suggesting that a modern, secure, and user-friendly digital identity system could enhance online services, improve digital trust, and foster economic growth within the EU.
The Center for Data Innovation also offers feedback on the policy option to establish a new eID for EU citizens, known as EUid. The comments provide specific recommendations for this option, including the need for strong privacy protections, interoperability, and the ability for EU citizens to easily manage their digital identities.
The comments further provide feedback on each of the three policy options under consideration. The Center for Data Innovation discusses the potential impact of the proposed changes on businesses and citizens within the EU, highlighting the importance of a secure, user-friendly, and interoperable digital identity system.
The Center for Data Innovation's comments provide a summary of the three policy proposals under consideration. The comments also offer feedback on each proposal, providing specific recommendations for each policy option. The Center for Data Innovation's response to the European Commission's roadmap for revising the eIDAS regulation does not specify the three persons or institutions who provided the comments.
The eIDAS regulation, adopted by the EU in 2014, establishes a cross-border framework for electronic IDs and trust services in EU member states. The revision of this regulation is aimed at addressing the current shortcomings and improving the digital identity landscape within the EU. The Center for Data Innovation's feedback on the European Commission's roadmap is a valuable contribution to this process, offering insights and recommendations for the development of a secure and user-friendly digital identity system for EU citizens.
