| (3) It is essential to ensure that all payment services providers, whether incorporated in Member States whose currency is the euro or in Member States whose currency is not the euro, may distribute the digital euro and therefore exercise their freedom to provide services in the Union. The provision of digital euro payment service by all payment services providers would contribute to a high level of innovation, facilitate payments and increase competition across the Union and is necessary to safeguard the integrity of the single market. All payment services providers incorporated in the Union should therefore be in a position to distribute digital euro payment services under the same conditions to natural or legal persons residing or established in the Member States whose currency is the euro, to natural or legal persons who opened a digital euro account at the time they resided or were established in the Member States whose currency is the euro, but no longer reside or are established in such Member States, and to visitors in the euro area. Payment services providers incorporated in Member States whose currency is not the euro should also be in a position to distribute the digital euro to any other natural or legal persons residing or established in Member States whose currency is not the euro and in other countries of the European Economic Area or any third countries subject to the conditions laid down in the Regulation (EU) [please insert reference – proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council on the establishment of the digital euro – COM(2023) 369 final]. | (3) It is essential to ensure that all payment services providers, whether incorporated in Member States whose currency is the euro or in Member States whose currency is not the euro, may distribute the Digital Euro and therefore exercise their freedom to provide services in the Union.
