The NTA Governor Mr. Angelos Binis participated in an online event organized by the Ministry of Digital Governance on the topic "Technology and Transparency". Together with the Secretary General of Information Systems, Mr. Demosthenes Anagnostopoulos, they discussed the role of technology as a catalyst for the promotion of transparency, focusing on the issue of falsification of vaccination certificates and giving specific examples of technological applications that support public integrity and accountability, contributing to the restoration of citizens’ trust in institutions.

Mr. Binis spoke about the primary role of technology in the Authority's operational model, which includes accountability, prevention and awareness-raising actions, while he stressed that "The digitilization of public governance processes and systems serves as a strong mechanism for preventing corruption. However, even if fraud is committed, it enables the auditing mechanism to have at its disposal the traces and tools to find the natural perpetrator and any external factors involved, but mainly to diagnose the problem and establish a new safe net to eliminate the root cause that allows fraud to occur”.

Mr. Anagnostopoulos also highlighted that there are many initiatives to enhance transparency through the use of new technologies such as crowdsourcing. He also underlined how crucial it is for users of online applications and tools, to keep their passwords secret and not share them with others. He commented, "What is crucial is that we now have the ability to know when and what has happened. We can track which vaccine was given at which Vaccination Centre, to which vaccinator officer, which person was vaccinated, and at what time. It is a chain that is structured and which provides us with such electronic traces that it is now clear and recorded what happens and when".
