PEC ( Certified Electronic Mail) is a tool that we are all familiar iceland whatsapp resource with and that has now become part of our daily lives.
According to the latest available data, there are over 14 million active PEC addresses in Italy .
The surge in the use of PEC has been very strong , especially in recent years; and a decisive acceleration, in this sense, occurred during the emergency period triggered by the pandemic.
An acceleration that was not an isolated case, but was part of a trend that involved other implementations related to dematerialization and digitalization (just think, for example, of the case of SPID).
Furthermore, PEC is currently also used as a Digital Domicile (and, we remind you, from 1 October 2020 it is mandatory for businesses and professionals to communicate their Digital Domicile).
As we have mentioned, however, PEC is a peculiarity that is entirely Italian. And its inclusion in the context of European electronic delivery services is not yet optimal .
In fact, PEC lacks many of the characteristics identified by the European legislator for electronic certified delivery services and qualified certified delivery. For example, PEC does not allow the sender and recipient of the communication to be identified, nor does it require the application of a qualified time stamp.
