We appreciate your feedback. The eIDAS2 Regulation will lead the way of technical solutions in all European Member States. The regulation is aiming to ensure that all the EU citizens can access electronic services smoothly, securely and efficiently across EU. The eIDAS2 Regulation is also defining a legal framework for the EU and use of digital identities, seals and national implementations. Architecture Reference Framework (ARF) provides the technical guidelines and standards for developing and implementing EUDI Wallets.

In summary, the eIDAS 2 Regulation and the ARF already implement the processes and features to avoid vendor lock-in of the EUDI Wallet, empowering citizens with more freedom and choice in digital services and enabling vendors of all size to participate to fullfill quality criteria and service provider role.

@pinamiranda Thank you for your feedback and your understanding of my intention to clarify the primary objectives of the Architecture Reference Framework (ARF) in close relation to the eIDAS 2 Regulation.

How do you plan to adopt my feedback in terms of clearly defined user stories in close connection to clearly defined acceptance criteria?
