         | There's summary in the article: "For this initiative, the
         | Commission builds on the existing cross-border legal framework
         | for trusted digital identities, the European electronic
         | identification and trust services initiative (eIDAS
         | Regulation). Adopted in 2014, it provides the basis for cross-
         | border electronic identification, authentication and website
         | certification within the EU. Already about 60% of Europeans can
         | benefit from the current system.
         | 
         | However, there is no requirement for Member States to develop a
         | national digital ID and to make it interoperable with the ones
         | of other Member States, which leads to high discrepancies
         | between countries. The current proposal will address these
         | shortcomings by improving the effectiveness of the framework
         | and extending its benefits to the private sector and to mobile
         | use."
