Regarding the procedure itself, the President of the Parliament stated that it is a hearing (of the invited guests) which essentially constitutes a parliamentary control and that the Committee does not act as a prosecutor of First Instance.
The issue of “self-protection of the process” was raised by President of the Parliament Kostas Tassoulasduring today’s conference of the presidents of the Parliament, which examined the organization of tomorrow’s secret meeting of the Institutions & Transparency Committee on the case of surveillance. As Mr. Tasoulas mentioned to the parliamentary editors, he asked the party representatives to help us not to have phenomena of direct transmission of the secret process.
Regarding the procedure itself, Mr. Tasoulas said that it is a hearing (of the invited guests) which essentially constitutes a parliamentary control and that the Committee does not act as a prosecutor of First Instance. He also noted that the persons under hearing will all enter the closed session together and that they will speak/be questioned in turn.
In the proposal of the opposition parties to publish the minutes of the meeting, without any information related to national security and defense, Mr. Tasoulas said that the regulation only provides for the issuance of a “finding”, that is, an agreed text in the form of conclusions. This is the only way out, however (agreeing to such a finding) is an “impressive challenge”, Mr Tasoulas said.
The Speaker of the Parliament said that there was a suggestion to the MPs not to take their mobile phones with them inside the committee meeting room.
It is noted that invitations for tomorrow’s meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Institutions and Transparency have been addressed to:
– Christos Rammos, president of the Communications Privacy Assurance Authority, honorary vice-president of the Council of State,
