John,

there's a new and official version of the Proposal for a European Directive
on electronic signatures (http://www.jya.com/eu-digsig.htm) available
at the EU's server:

        http://europa.eu.int/comm/dg15/en/media/infso/sign.htm

I've been to the European Commission in Brussels on Tuesday, talking to
folks from the 'directorates-general'. We were trying to modify some of
the Directive's contents but to no avail. None of our comments have been
considered although we've been promised that e.g. Annex II (i) would be
changed as to Certification Service Providers never being allowed to store
private keys.

Cheers,

        Stefan.
