Many citizens already have a way to identify themselves electronically and reliably at home, namely with the national electronic ID, but they cannot yet use that tool in the same way across Europe as their eID is not recognised in another country. For authorising an online transaction in a country or across Europe, the eSignatures Directive has been providing since years the legal framework but its use is still too limited as it is perceived to be rather complicated and missing the following key elements for today’s online world:
- The lack of interoperability and capability coupled with a guarantee on the appropriate use of data.
-The lack of a common legal basis engaging each Member State to recognise and accept eIDs issued in other Member States to access public online services and the insufficient cross-border interoperability of national eIDs lead to electronic barriers which hinders citizens and businesses to fully benefit from the digital single market.
The initiative aims at boosting the confidence of citizens, businesses and administrations when interacting electronically.>>>>
