Professor Spyros Simitis died, at the age of 89, on Saturday, March 18, in Germany, where he lived for decades. He was the older brother of the former prime minister, Costas Simitis, and his death became known a little while ago with an announcement from the political office.

He contributed decisively to the formulation and implementation of the relevant legislation.

He also served as president and member of international and European committees for the Protection of Personal Data, such as at the European level of the “High Level Group of Experts on Social Rights”.
