On 1 June we joined the inter-institutional 🇪🇺 EU #Transparency Register.

The Transparency Register allows European citizens to see what interests are being represented at Union level and on whose behalf, as well as the financial and human resources dedicated to these activities.

Are you an #EUCivilSociety organisation wishing to get in touch with the EU institutions?

#Transparency is not at odds with the legitimate interests of those who develop #ArtificialIntelligence to maintain intellectual property rights - both can be protected. But, if they clash, #FundamentalRights should prevail - says @W_Wiewiorowski@twitter.com #APF2023

We should also consider how we should adapt them to protect the #fundamentalright of people on the move to and from the #EU, and how we can uphold principles of #transparency and fairness @FannyCoudert@twitter.com #CPDP2023 @CPDPconferences@twitter.com 2/2

How do rules that restrict processing of #personaldata interplay with rules on the #transparency of #politicaladvertising? @anna_colaps@twitter.com in #CPDP2023 workshop #Dataprotection in the #EU regulation on political advertising: a new paradigm? 1/6

We have found maladmin in @EU_Council@twitter.com refusal to grant full access to a legal opinion on the draft EU directive on adequate minimum wages.

Greater #transparency while negotiations are ongoing is key for public participation in the EU legislative process.

I've been invited to participate in the Euractiv health podcast on the ongoing #Pfizer saga this week.

We discussed the impact of #lobbying on the EP, the role of the #COVI committee & the lack of #transparency regarding Covid-19 vaccine contracts.

The @EIB@twitter.com is the world's biggest multilateral financial institution. In April, we asked it to improve #transparency around projects it finances so the public can more easily assess their impact on the #environment.

The House just PASSED the Presidential Tax Filings & Audit Transparency Act with 201 Republicans voting against it... The bill itself, https://congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/9640, a small step towards transparency. Ideally any presidential candidate should have their returns audited as well.

The #EHDS should serve as an example of #transparency, effective #accountability and proper balance between the interests of the individual data subjects and the shared interest of society as a whole.

For everyone following me: nice of you to do so.

Please excuse me for being blunt. I don’t know how to do better, I’m Dutch.

Expect me to be extremely vocal on #Privacy #opensource #Transparency #equality #Sustainability #IT #infrastructure and much more.

I love a good discussion and the attention that goes with it.

Oh and I am #newhere but not on the Internet. 😎
