No, it is a payment system, not a pseudo currency. Think of it as an open-source Paypal.
It has been used as a digital voucher system on some events, and there is afaik a trial with a inofficial regional currency somewhere in Italy.
But mainly people are currently waiting for the first bank to offer an option to charge your Taler wallet with Euros. There is a German coop bank that plans to do so in the comming weeks.
Sounds like it'll be superfluous once the digital euro wallet lands
It's very possible that the digital Euro will be a GNU taler system.

The European Commission is the Executive Arm of the EU.
Commission is not involved in developing the digital euro, afaik. Am I missing something?
