According to a progress report (COM [2006] 120) published by the European Commission in March 2006, the reluctant take-up of electronic signature tools is slowing down the growth of trade in goods and services via the internet. However, growing use of electronic ID cards and the use of e-signatures in e-government services, such as on-line income tax returns, are expected to drive demand in the future. The report also confirms that the 1999 Directive on a Community framework for electronic signatures continues to provide, for the moment, a valid basis for electronic signatures in the internal market. |
