[pp.int.general] European citizens' Initiative - ID requirement & data retention

[Justus Römeth]

If you are a German citizen living in another country you simply don't get
an ID, just a passport (of course for students abroad this is a small issue
as they can just keep being registered at their parents', but one of my
friends family moved to Switzerland when she was young, she never owned an
ID card (neither in CH nor later in F and NL). So that would certainly be a
problem, or are expats now lesser citizens all of a sudden?
