IDENTITÀ DIGITALE: EUROPEAN E-WALLET
L'identità digitale è un mezzo per arrivare al portafoglio elettronico e tracciare ogni utilizzo del denaro.
1) VERSO LO SVILUPPO DEL SOFTWARE
Il 3 giugno 2021 è stata presentata una modifica del Regolamento (UE) n. 910/2014 (eIDAS) che definisce le regole che uniformerebbero la prestazione di servizi fiduciari su territorio UE, stabilendo i meccanismi di implementazione dei sistemi di identità elettronica da parte dei singoli stati membri. A seguito di questa modifica l'UE starebbe puntando sulla realizzazione di un wallet europeo, il quale andrebbe ad uniformare l'accesso ai servizi e l'identità digitale di ciascuno stato membro dell'UE.
All'ordine degli sviluppi odierni il progetto è solamente una documentazione su Github che servirà per gli sviluppi veri e propri dei software che permetteranno a ciascun cittadino di disporre di un'identità digitale europea, la quale servirà ad uniformare gli accessi sia per i servizi pubblici che privati. Tali software dovrebbero essere open source a detta della Commissione Europea, ma risvolti futuri potrebbero benissimo rendere open source soltanto i client, lasciando proprietari i software lato server, ossia quelli che permetteranno di fatto la reale gestione dei nostri dati. Open source, infatti, di per sé non vuol dire software libero. Anche Android è open source, ma rimane di proprietà di Google che può usarlo per accedere ai nostri dati: il rendere open source software che verranno poi gestiti da proprietari serve solo per avere sviluppatori che lavorano gratis al progetto, e non è alcuna garanzia di privacy per l'utente finale.
2) COSA ANDRÀ AD UNIFICARE
Verranno sostituite ed integrate la carta d'identità, la firma elettronica con valore legale (PEC), la patente, il passaporto, la tessera sanitaria, titoli professionali, diplomi e lauree.
In altre parole verrà potenziata l'identità digitale, così da implementare le funzionalità dell'attuale SPID a livello europeo, estendendone le funzionalità. Per creare il wallet infatti sia SPID che la CIE saranno fusi insieme e avranno come infrastruttura di base un'estensione dell'app IO. Attualmente la sperimentazione partirà da Trento, ma piano piano sarà estesa a tutta l'Italia.
3) COME SARÀ COLLEGATO ALL'EURO DIGITALE
Questi portafogli virtuali non conterranno solamente i documenti ma fungerà da vero e proprio portafoglio digitale che permetterà di implementare l'euro digitale. Tali portafogli saranno forniti da banche o da intermediari autorizzati e gestiti dalla BCE, o dalla BCE stessa, in quanto ne saranno collegati. Ciò significa che ogni transazione si può ricondurre potenzialmente all'individuo, ciò farà sparire totalmente l'anonimato garantito dal contante.
L'integrazione dell'euro digitale negli E-wallet è prevista per il 2026 e si presenterà come una risposta alla sfida offerta dalle criptovalute, odiate dal sistema (1, 2) perché considerate come una minaccia alla stabilità finanziaria, ciò, vuol dire, che impediscono di avere un totale controllo sulla moneta in circolazione.
4) POSSIBILI SVILUPPI FUTURI
L'identità digitale unificata è uno dei punti principali inerenti al digitale proposti dall'Agenda 2030.
Una moneta digitale è totalmente programmabile, ciò significa che la valuta potrebbe sparire da un wallet per un qualsiasi motivo, si può partire dalla scusa del terrorismo e del riciclaggio di denaro per controllare i flussi di denaro, cosa che già è implementata nell'UE, per poi passare alla lotta all'evasione fiscale, e poi ad altro ancora. Si tratta senza alcun dubbio di uno strumento tecnologico molto forte i cui utilizzi totalitari sono molteplici e di varia natura.
CONCLUSIONI
L'UE wallet sarà difeso con la retorica dell'ottimizzazione della burocrazia e dell'accesso facilitato ai servizi. Gli oppositori saranno demonizzati come retrogradi che non stanno al passo coi tempi, così come è stato fatto dai media mainstrem nei confronti di coloro che si sono opposti all'obbligo del pagamento elettronico tramite POS (1, 2, 3, 4).

— “Ukraine is not a paragon of democracy. This is a country that has banned 11 opposition parties. It has consolidated all media into one state TV media arm. That’s not democratic. It has threatened not to hold elections this year unless the U.S. forks over more money. That is not democratic.”
“It celebrated a Nazi in its ranks — the comedian in cargo pants, a man called Zelensky — doing it in their own ranks. That is not democratic."

🇵🇦The Panama Canal is so congested that one ship captain just paid a record $4 million to skip to the front of the line
A shipper has paid nearly $4 million to jump to the front of the line at the congested Panama Canal waterway, a record high.
Japan’s Eneos Group paid $3.975 million in an auction Wednesday to secure the crossing, bidding documents show. That comes on top of the regular transit fees companies pay, which can be hundreds of thousands of dollars more.
A queue of ships waiting to use the canal has been growing in recent months amid a deep drought. To manage the situation, the canal’s managing authority has announced increasingly drastic restrictions for the depleted thoroughfare. The Panama Canal Authority also holds auctions for those wishing to jump to the front of the line.

🇻🇪🛢Asia's Battle for Venezuela's Oil: The Complex Fallout of U.S. Sanctions Easing
Despite the recent lifting of the U.S. oil embargo on Venezuelan oil, Asian countries, especially China and India, face a challenging scenario, warn S&P Global analysts.
The competition for Venezuelan oil is intensifying, raising concerns for these nations. With U.S. companies now allowed to explore and directly purchase oil from Venezuela's PDVSA, there's a risk of reduced oil shipments to China, impacting debt repayments, while U.S. oil imports surge.
Furthermore, Venezuelan barrels might compete with other Latin American and Canadian heavy oil grades. China's independent refineries consumed 360,000 b/d and 110,000 b/d of fuel oil from Venezuela in September, against the country's oil production of 770,000 b/d. Post-sanctions, experts fear China might face competition from the U.S., Europe, and India.
In the pre-sanctions period (2017-2019), India imported 300,000 b/s of Venezuelan oil, mainly through private refining companies like Reliance Industries and Nayara Energy.
India's future oil imports from Venezuela hinge on the country's energy security policies.
Refiners in Northeast and Southeast Asia worry that reduced imports from Venezuela could inflate spot prices for Middle East crude, highlighting the complexities of the situation.

🇪🇺 Final agreement on EU Digital Identity Wallets expands scope of regulations
The European Parliament and the Council of the EU have reached an agreement on a new framework for European digital identity, including regulation on digital ID wallets.
A news release from the European Commission says this concludes the two legislative bodies’ work to implement results of the provisional political agreement reached in June around a legal framework for a trusted and secure digital identity for all Europeans.
Under the new eIDAS 2.0 regulations, the EU Digital Identity Wallet will have extensive applications across public and private enterprise, supporting the EU in meeting its 2030 targets for the digitization of public services. With the full guarantee of EU law, wallet holders throughout Europe can use their linked digital ID to open bank accounts and make payments, store digital ID and biometric documents such as mobile driver’s licenses or professional certifications, and expedite services in travel, healthcare and other areas of life. Significantly, the regulation makes it mandatory for so-called Very Large Online Platforms (Facebook, Google, et al) to accept the EU Digital ID Wallet for login. The Commission’s release implies that this is a potential model for smaller companies, for which the features and specs of the wallet could boost both competitiveness and compliance.
Crucial to the wallet system is the user’s ability to choose whether or not to share personal data, and what data is shared in specific cases. In terms of UX, the wallet’s dashboard promises the ability to monitor transactions and report privacy violations, and to allow interaction between wallets with consent. E-signature capability will be free for personal use.
Several of these features mark an expanded scope for the regulation as a result of the trilogue discussions. Other newly finalized points include the wallet’s business model (free of charge to all Europeans), validation and authentication mechanisms for member states, and the status of the wallet’s code, components of which will be available open-source to try and prevent misuse.
Although the agreement between the European co-legislators is set, it still requires endorsement from member states and formal approval, after which it will be formally published in the EU’s Official Journal. Twenty days after that, the new EU Digital Identity framework will become law.
