European Commission Consultation on the European Digital Identity Wallets (EUDIW) – ESD Recommendations on the Commission Draft Implementing Regulations

Consultation Responses · September 9, 2024

The European Digital Identity Wallet should deliver on one of eIDAS 2.0’s central promises: secure and seamless digital identity across the Single Market. In its response to five draft Implementing Regulations, ESD calls for greater harmonisation, clearer technical standards and a consistent European certification approach to prevent fragmentation into national wallet ecosystems. Building on proven industry standards and Europe’s existing qualified trust infrastructure can strengthen security and interoperability while preserving competition and cross-border choice for users and service providers.
