Spyware use and privacy in Greece: discussion with national authorities
MEPs will discuss current issues in Greece with national privacy and data protection authorities, Christos Rammos (President of the ADAE) and Konstantinos Menoudakos (President of the HDPA).
When: Tuesday 28 February 2023, 10.00 – 13.30 (Cyprus Time)
Where: European Parliament in Brussels, Spinelli building, room 3E-2
To learn more about data protection and ongoing spyware investigations in Greece, the Inquiry Committee investigating Pegasus and equivalent spyware has invited Christos Rammos (President of the Hellenic Authority for Communication Security, ADAE) and Konstantinos Menoudakos (President of the Hellenic Data Protection Authority, HDPA) for a discussion with MEPs. The exchange builds on the Committee’s previous public hearing on spyware in Greece and its subsequent fact-finding visit to Greece and Cyprus in November 2022.
After the discussion, MEPs will also speak with Michael O’Flaherty, Director of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, who will present a partial update to the agency’s 2017 report “Surveillance by intelligence services: fundamental rights safeguards and remedies in the EU”. The update will be available here.
