What they argued
As the European Commission prepares its next steps towards a Quantum Act, we would like to highlight that Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) should not be neglected. While Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is rightly receiving significant attention, QKD offers a unique level of protection, particularly in domains where the highest levels of confidentiality are required.
DATEV expressly welcomes the draft regulation and is pleased to contribute with the attached position paper. In brief, the following aspects should be taken into account in the ongoing legislative process: All economically active individuals, in particular self-employed individuals and sole traders, should have access to the European Business Wallet, as they can benefit significantly from the EUBW.
Position Paper on a European Business Wallet June 2025 DATEV eG is the software company and IT services provider for tax consultants, auditors, lawyers as well as their clients. With over 9,000 employees, the company is one of the largest IT service providers in Germany and Europe.
