Screenshot of text saying: "This enables the government of any EU member state to issue website certificates for interception and surveillance which can be used against every EU citizen, even those not resident in or connected to the issuing member state. There is no independent check or balance on the decisions made by member states with respect to the keys they authorize and the use they put them to. This is particularly troubling given that adherence to the rule of law has not been uniform across all member states, with documented instances of coercion by secret police for political purposes. "

Important and worrying news on the long-running proposal in Europe to require browsers to trust government certificates - the latest version would mandate browsers to comply even if such certificates are used to intercept web traffic. https://last-chance-for-eidas.org/
If you’re a European citizen, you can write to the member of the European Parliament responsible for the eIDAS file - Romana JERKOVIĆ - and register your concern. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/112747/ROMANA_JERKOVIC/home
