Sorry, I should have clarified. The EU commission is focused on digital identity. I haven't dug deeply, but yes, I suspect that they are not as interested in decentralized identity (as the original link was).

> As mentioned, correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I can see all of these EU plans are basically just giving each EU citizen a cert that is issued by their government and some nice applications that build around those certs?

Sure, but wouldn't that ubiquity be a game changer?
