Dutch MPs say no to EU identity card proposal

Dutch News  

Dutch MPs have major objections to EU plans to introduce unique and permanent identification numbers for a digital European ID card and on Thursday called on government to take action. MPs voted in favour of two motions, submitted by ChristenUnie MP Don Ceder and D66 MP Hind Dekker-Abdulaziz which called on the government to ensure the new EU ID card would not be compulsory and would not result in large-scale personal data gathering by the EU, individual EU states or major corporations. EU plans for an EU-wide digital identity card, or wallet app, that will enable citizens to identify themselves and share electronic documents across the European Union have already come under fire from privacy experts. Economic affairs minister Micky Adriaansens and digitalisation minister Alexandra van Huffelen are also opposed to the EU plan, which will be discussed at a ministers meeting in Straasburg on Friday.

Modern ID systems: Watching a global identity crisis unfold

Al Jazeera  

“Show me your papers.” We associate those four words with 20th-century state oppression and the separation of citizens from “others” – where an identity card or number was about facilitating survival, not civic participation. Modern biometric and digital wallet-based identity systems have been presented as an opportunity to create more inclusion, enable civic participation and facilitate easier access to healthcare …
