March 6th, 2011 No comments

MEPs adopted a bill ratifying the creation of a biometric ID card. The first issue could occur as early as 2012. Except incidents through the project. In France, the biometric ID card should emerge in 2012.

The output of the first biometric passport was in 2005. Next is the national identity card to enter a truly digital era. A country like Belgium has already adopted this type of support in recent years. After a significant period of dithering and gestation of the project (we already spoke in 2005), the government and the French Parliament finally seem to find their feet on how to design the official document to protect identity.

The biometric ID card will include strengthening the fight against identity theft (200 000 per year in France). The digital ID chip include a mandatory, which contain elements rather “conventional”: name of cardholder, gender, date of birth, eye color and fingerprints.

Secure a second electronic component called “service”, containing a kind of electronic signature, may be integrated into the user’s request. Its use will facilitate online transactions and those carried out via contactless technology (NFC) embarked on smartphones.

“The new document will be free and will not be required as the current ID card,” says Les Echos. However, any renewal of a card classic, it is lost, stolen or expired, will result in the automatic switch to biometric technology.

The National Commission for Data Protection should issue an opinion on the proposed biometric ID card. We can expect the publication of decrees to set specific terms the latest techniques.

Such action has seemed necessary after a report, also published this July 6, revealed that the current regulation was much lower prices, but without affecting the lack of competition. As a result, prices remain very close to the maximum legal limit.

To solve this problem in the long term, the Commission suggests a system that allows consumers to choose a second operator for international calls. While retaining their mobile number and for two subscriptions.

They might as well have a subscription for calls to their country and use such a kind offer prepaid card for international calls. And without particular approach. Operators, including MVNOs, mobile virtual operators, would also benefit the right to use the network of other European operators in the wholesale price set by the regulator.

In the meantime, so that prices fall again between 2011 and 2014, the Commission propose a new lower maximum price allowed for roaming, a limit that would remain in place until 2016.
