# AVPA comments on the EU Digital Services Act

The global trade body representing suppliers of age verification and age estimation technology solutions, has submitted a response to the European Commission&#8217;s call for evidence on implementing the Digital Services Act, particuarly in respect to minors.
The AVPA argues that an interim solution for age verification at 18+ for adult content and other use-cases reliant on physical national ID cards may not be ready much before the European Digital Identity Wallet is available for this purpose.  It also questions the need for a complex &#8220;double-blind&#8221; concept as an incomplete solution in search of a problem, given there are no reports of data or privacy breaches arising from age assurance processes.
The industry is developing a tokenized, interoperable ecosystem through [euCONSENT](http://www.euconsent.eu" target="_blank" rel="noopener) ASBL non-profit NGO which the Association promotes as an effective way to add privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) to the sector&#8217;s approach while maintaining a sustainable, open and competitive market for age assurance services.
