Providing data for screening of serving soldiers
at the Ministry of Defence Headquarters
Our Service was informed today by IDI, the executive arm of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI), about the transfer of their delegation to Cyprus, on 6 and 7 June 2023, to examine the complaint we have submitted in relation to the Ministry of Defence's refusal to provide us with all the information and data we had requested for the audit of conscripts serving on secondment at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defence and the General Staff. To this end, the President of the Republic, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Attorney General, the Minister of Defence, and the Chairman and Members of the Parliamentary Control Committee have been informed directly by IDI, with a request for a private meeting with the IDI delegation.
At the same time, we were informed today by the Ministry of Defence that, following the intervention of the President of the Republic himself, it was decided to give immediate and unhindered access to all the information that is, in our judgment, necessary to carry out this audit.
Our Service welcomes the above action and hopes to re-establish good relations with the Ministry of Defence, and will immediately proceed with the audit, which will cover, at this stage, the period from 1.1.2020 to date. Upon completion of the audit, we will, as usual, prepare a Special Report with all our findings and recommendations, while respecting the principles required by the relevant legislation on the protection of personal data.
We clarify that the provision of information does not change the fact of the visit of the IDI delegation to Cyprus, however, it may no longer focus on the specific incident, since the specific problem has disappeared, but on the general examination of the institutional framework that governs the protection of personal data.
