In the case of the European Union, the European Central Bank (ECB) has been actively researching and considering the implementation of a digital euro. 
The ECB <a href="https://crypto.news/ecb-president-unveils-plans-to-control-cbdc-payments-during-prank-call/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/ecb-president-unveils-plans-to-control-cbdc-payments-during-prank-call/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launched a public survey</a> to gather opinions on the idea of a digital euro, and the response was overwhelmingly positive, with 80% of respondents expressing support for the digital currency.

The initial plan is to make the digital euro accessible to euro area residents, governments, and merchants. Non-resident Euro-area citizens may also have access if they hold an account with a euro-area-based payment services provider. The report also mentions the possibility of expanding access to consumers from selected third countries and exploring cross-currency functionalities with other central bank digital currencies.
