Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, governments and stakeholders used data analytics and digital technologies to identify people exposed to the Coronavirus and stop onward transmission. Contact-tracing applications were the primary resources used for this purpose during the pandemic. While these apps can help prevent infections and are a valuable public health tool, they also raise a... 24/01/2023 | 18:25:46 Thank you, Madam President.

We know Ukraine is among the world's top exporters of... 11/10/2022 | 20:33:51 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Dear President, Dear Colleagues, Firstly, I would like to congratulate the Rapporteur for his work on this important report.
