MiCA regulator Stefan Berger to lead plans for digital euro

Odaily Planet Daily News Members of the European Parliament (MEP) said on Wednesday that German lawmaker Stefan Berger will take the lead in formulating new legislation to support a digital euro. Stefan Berger was one of the architects and chief negotiator of MiCA, the EU's landmark encryption regulation. As rapporteur, Berger will propose amendments to the draft law that other lawmakers can revise themselves and vote on. At a later stage, he will lead negotiations with the Security Council to develop a unified version of the text. It is reported that the European Central Bank has not yet formally decided whether to issue a CBDC, but has invested a lot of resources in technical planning. (CoinDesk)
