Mit der Europäischen Bürgerinitiative (EBI) kommt in der EU erstmals ein Element direkter Demokratie zum Einsatz. In rund einem Jahr können europaweit gut vernetzte Bürgerorganisationen erstmals Gesetzesvorschläge bei der EU-Kommission einreichen. Nach der Zustimmung des EU-Parlaments und der Umsetzung in den 27 EU-Staaten steht die Initiative voraussichtlich Ende 2011 oder Anfang 2012 zur Verfügung. Das Parlament nahm den Entwurf für die Verordnung mit 628 Stimmen bei 15 Gegenstimmen und 24 Enthaltungen an. Die Mitgliedsstaaten haben nach Veröffentlichung im EU-Amtsblatt ein Jahr Zeit, die Verordnung in nationales Recht umzusetzen. Ursprünglich wollte die EU-Kommission hohe Schwellen festsetzen, darunter mindestens 300.000 Unterschriften aus neun EU-Staaten zur Einreichung einer solchen Bürgerinitiative.
The EU Council formalised its position on the European digital identity at the Telecom Council meeting on Tuesday (6 December).
The European digital identity is intended to create a public version of digital wallets in each member state that can be used to identify, authenticate or verify certain aspects such as age in any other EU country.
These wallets will take the form of apps for smartphones. In the digital sphere, the EU’s ambition is to compete with the identification systems currently offered by Big Tech companies like Amazon, Google and Facebook.
“We are looking at a massive advancement in how people use their identity and credentials in everyday contact with both public and private entities, and in how they use digital services,” said Ivan Bartos, Czech Deputy Prime minister for digitalisation.
