Hi Alberto
First of,
I'm neither a lawyer, nor an epidemiologist, nor a political leader, just a European interested in Cloud and security :-)
Of course, I fully see the potential bad side of enforcing the use of an app, in some tricky political contexts.
But here are 2 things I'd like to share:
- If we don't find a common and coordinated response throughout Europe (or the EU), it will be both a political failure, and will only provide a partial view on the pandemic, as we cannot consider that the virus is stopped by border!
- regarding all the strong voices against such an application because of "privacy" issues and the "government" would be spying on us, let me just remind that our mobile telco have been able to track us from day 1
The EU toolbox is accompanied by guidance on data protection -->
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_20_669It has links to others documents of interest such as
https://ec.europa.eu/info/files/guidance-apps-supporting-fight-against-covid-19-pandemic-relation-data-protection_enWhat I read so far is fine with me, but of course implementation and controls will be the next activities to monitor.
Just my 2 (euro)cents

Any comment on this EU Guideline ?
Are cybersecurity, privacy and transparency requirements complete ?
