Priority question for written answer P-000847/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Birgit Sippel (S&D)
The success of the eIDAS wallet provided for in Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 depends on the trust users place in this new digital identity system. The recent implementing act proposals from the Commission risk undermining that trust and violating the agreement with the European Parliament. The eIDAS system has to deliver the highest level of privacy and security, which means ensuring that users have control over their data and the transparency of the entire ecosystem.
In the implementing act on identity matching, the current Commission proposal contradicts the eIDAS Regulation and the agreement with Parliament.
- 1.Why is the Commission pushing for an extension of user identification to the provision of private services without an appropriate reference thereto in the basic act? Or could the Commission indicate what part of the basic act it is basing its position on?
- 2.How does the Commission justify the extension of the obligation for relying party registration to private services, despite the fact that private sector access to centralised systems for identity matching via unique identifiers is explicitly not mentioned in Article 11a Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 as a possible use case.
