No Wrongdoing Found in 'Digital Citizen' Project, Ministry Responds to Audit

The Deputy Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digital Policy responded to an Audit Office report regarding the 'Digital Citizen' project, stating that no illegality or irregularity was found. The Deputy Ministry argues that the assignment, implementation and management of the project were based on a legal framework and that its submitted positions were not taken into account in the final report. It points out that the Legal Service was involved early in the procedures and that the project complied with the views of the Public Procurement Authority and the Data Protection Commissioner. The cost of the project was determined within the framework of an intergovernmental agreement with Greece, utilizing existing technology and achieving cost savings.
