Hi, I am making a suggestion regarding the electronic signature of contracts, as I had a problem with the "paper original" again in 2017, when I expected that the "paper signature" was not a condition for the validity of the documents. I would like to ask for an explanation with a legal basis: Why is a document/contract that is concluded with a Ministry and is digitally signed with a qualified digital certificate (KDP SIGEN-CA), which is also issued by the State, not valid? By law, a document digitally signed with a KDP is equivalent to a signature on paper and cannot be called an original. Since I know that most of you already sign with KDPs within the civil service, including ministers, the "culprit" is probably the European Social Fund. On the one hand, we talk to the hilt about digitisation, but at the same time we insist on paper signatures for no reason. We have already been involved in too many digitisation projects to stand by and watch paper unjustifiably remain on its throne. I have no doubt at all that it is possible, and quickly, to cut this paper Gordian knot.
