Welcome from all EU countries to the Personal EU discussion
Every great idea was once considered just a crazy thought. But when a concept is clearly and functionally viable, it deserves an expert evaluation and the corresponding treatment it requires.
To the Honorable European Commission: The Personal EU concept has been developed and matured for over 20 years to be implemented right now—at a definitive moment when both the citizens and our technological infrastructure are ready for the next evolutionary step of the digital era.
This initiative is not foreign to the Commission. Two decades ago, the Commission demonstrated visionary interest in this very concept by inviting Mr. Personal EU to present the future guidelines under the title "Route map to a Personal EU Era" and by envisioning the "Citizen-centric" model as an official Framework criterion.
Recently, the Commission reaffirmed this exact same intellectual and philosophical heritage with the declaration "We put the citizen at the center," noting that the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) currently under development serves as the foundation for union-wide, secure, and success-driven leaps forward.
The Personal EU ecosystem, with its numerous built-in innovations—such as the PPPP (Politic-Public-Private-Person), the cellular planet organization, the EU Home Page, and global meetpoints—is not an external, detached project. Its natural and logical place is within the Commission's own portfolio. Leaving this vision to an external, commercial, or purely technological actor—who would require complex onboarding and lack genuine European motivation—would only delay or distort its potential.
Personal EU provides the human, social, and functional substance that the Commission's technical Digital Wallet framework critically needs:
A Gateway for Everyday Solutions: It originates from the micro and macro tasks, questions, puzzles, and cost-and-quality challenges of daily life. It brings together people of diverse nationalities sharing similar life situations into an enthusiastic, continuous connection to make life run smoother and broader.
The TRAIN Dimension: It expands and streamlines the interface between governance and citizens. It transforms administration from a distant regulator into a fluid partner—moving forward in the same train, in a shared spirit, and toward a common goal.
A Global Beacon Model: It acts as a organic extension of multicultural education, scaling union-wide problem-solving capacity to a level that can serve as a pioneering model for the rest of the world.
Fully aware that this mindset represents a turning point for the good of the entire Union, I must also note that without the right atmosphere within the Commission, implementing this from the outside would be an incredibly uphill battle. Instead, it could already be a winning card in the Commission's own hand.
I am offering the European Commission all rights to this concept, alongside the expert sparring and mentoring you require, while I am still in full strength to provide it.

Looking forward to your forward-driving feedback,
Kurt Linderoos, “Mr. Personal EU”
