European Commission proposes a secure #digitalidentity for all citizens
In its latest #digitalpolicy announcement, the European Union has proposed creating a framework for a European ID available to all citizens, residents, and businesses in the EU.
Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President for a Europe Fit for the Digital Age, has said: “This digital identity will enable us to do in any Member State as we do at home with fewer hurdles. We will decide how much information we wish to share, with whom, and for what reason. This is an excellent opportunity to take us all further into experiencing what it means to be European.”
This will enable citizens to prove their identity and share #electronicdocuments with the click of a button on their phones so they can easily access #onlineservices throughout #Europe in a safe manner.
