On March 22, 2006 in the premises of the Economic Chamber of Macedonia the workshop entitled “Privacy in the Macedonian and International ICT Environments" was organized by the USAID e-Gov Project in cooperation with the Macedonian Directorate for Security of Classified Information and the Directorate for Personal Data Protection. The topics covered include the EU legal framework for data protection, privacy in the context of e-Government and e-Commerce, Macedonian laws in the context of IT privacy and cyber security.
Presenters were Mr. James X, Dempsey, Center for Democracy and Technology, Ms. Marijana Marushic, director of Directorate for Personal Data Protection and Mr. Mile Mickov, head of sector in Macedonian Directorate for Security of Classified Information.
“In the Information Age, personal information has become a highly valued commodity that is collected, aggregated, shared and sometimes sold in ways never before imagined,” said Mr. Dempsey. “As public institutions move services online, there is growing risk of compromise and abuse. However, at the same time, greater use of information technology does not necessarily mean less privacy. Technologies can be designed and implemented in ways that enhance privacy.”
Mr. Bardhyl Jashari representing the Metamorphosis Foundation attended the workshop.
