🔻 Το σκάνδαλο των υποκλοπών βρίσκεται στα χέρια της Ευρωπαϊκής Εισαγγελίας και είναι δύσκολο από δω και πέρα για την κυβέρνηση του κ. Μητσοτάκη να προσπαθεί να το κρύψει κάτω από το χαλί, όπως κάνει τόσο καιρό με την αγαστή βοήθεια του φιλοκυβερνητικού Τύπου. @SYRIZAEP @Left_EU
🚨About the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR), follow the below thread 🧵👇
#ECON and #LIBE committees approved, today, the mandate for negotiations on the TFR. As @EPPGroup shadow rapporteur for the file, I think it is important to make myself clear on our position. 1/16
Our priorities: 1) insert crypto-assets in the scope of TFR in a way that is innovation-friendly and avoid unproportioned compliance burden for companies and citizens; 2) safeguard a proper level playing field between wire and crypto transfers; 2/16
EU parliamentarian @SophieintVeld is rightly exasperated about the Commission refusing to properly answer questions on use of facial recognition by police forces. "The Commission is doing bugger-all about it. (...) This is not a democratic procedure!" #LIBE 
LIBE chair @JFLopezAguilar agrees that the quality of replies by the Commission to written inquiries by parliament is very poor, "absolutely unacceptable". The Commission can not just copy-paste legal situation, but must address the political nature of the questions.
The complaint is seconded by @BirgitSippelMEP and @echo_pbreyer. LIBE chair indicates it is open to writing formal letter to Commission demanding proper answers to questions. I guess this will find deep echo in large parts of the EP.
"I'm not a big fan of talk of the ownership of the data", says acting EDPS Wojciech Wiewiórowski. He clear he does not think things given as rights should be saleable. #ephearing #LIBE
Artificial Intelligence is a "marketing term" meaning different things, Wiewiórowski points out. He hits a few notes that are likely to go down well with civil society.
We share certain convictions and view", says @SophieintVeld of Wiewiórowski. Reminder: She and other MEPs will be called on to vote for Wiewiorowski or one of two other candidates in committee tomorrow.
