EU consultation
Amending CIRs of Article 5a(23) as regards applicable standards and technical specifications
23 submissions from 23 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.
The Commission lists 43 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 23 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.
Who showed up
14 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 5 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions. That is 2.8 industry submissions for every one from civil society.
Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

The INATBA Privacy Working Group respectfully submits this position regarding the current draft amending Implementing Regulations under the eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI Wallet framework.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
