In general, the Commission’s assessment of the current situation seems adequate, especially since interoperability and extensions to digital validation are crucial for a sovereign digital market in Europe. Because of the different pace of digitalization across the EU, several Member States have already implementing digital validation on top of identification.

Their record over time
Erste Group Bank AG filed 2 positions between 3 Sept 2020 and 11 Sept 2020, across 2 of the 583 legislative files tracked here, attaching a full position paper 1 time.
What they argued
We welcome the European Commission's consultation and strongly support the proposed exemption of research on SMEs with a market capitalization of up to EUR 1 bn. As one of the largest banking groups in CEE, we have been observing a significant drop in the availability of SME research since the application of the current cost unbundling regime.
