Watch the video from the interview:

“myinfo is the platform where we will enter to choose the personal number – it will be three numerical digits plus our VAT number, we choose two of the three digits. The important thing is that alongside the new identity, in collaboration with the Ministry of Citizen Protection, we are creating a new way of authentication that is much stronger by providing new codes (for those who wish to have them, while those who wish to keep their old ones) so that we can go to a digital world that will be much safer».

Regarding the submission of a file with the data (degrees, work experience, etc.) to ASEP, Mr. Papastergiou noted that data extraction will be done automatically through digitization.

Regarding the digital identity, he pointed out that it is not valid outside of Greece because “there is still no common European protocol”, while he noted that there are discussions with Cyprus to confirm the digital identities between the two countries.

Regarding the postal vote, he said that “the effort was successful, a vote is not only a ballot box and a screen. We should think carefully about the next steps, which will be digital. From there we must judge what was the impression of the first attempt at remote voting and act accordingly. I think it’s impossible while you do so many things digitally not to vote digitally.”

Referring to the Pothen esches platform, he emphasized that “we wanted to make it more transparent, clear, more interoperable, but to create it, work is needed not only from the side of the state but also from the market, from the financial institutions”, so until December the Citizens who have to submit their identity card will follow the old procedure.

The minister also spoke at length about the use of AI in health, saying characteristically that “we are running a program with the Ministry of Health which has to do with the digitization of data but also the homogenization of systems”, while in the field of justice digitization of records is needed of justice. “Now that the media is there, AI is a very important tool. Finally, regarding the internet, Mr. Papastergiou emphasized that “we must obtain better quality in fixed telephony and greater competitiveness in mobile, while infrastructures must also be built in fixed telephony in order to have speeds similar to the European average».
