Opposition sceptical of privacy intrusions: 'Where does the public interest end?'

The opposition has expressed skepticism regarding proposed amendments to the Law on Official Statistics, which would allow the state to access private data during crises. The amendments aim to align national legislation with European regulations, regulate the production of statistical data in emergency situations, and define rules for accessing non-confidential data between statistical authorities. The HDZ and State Secretary Stipe Župan have rejected these concerns.

Opposition to statistical changes warns of the danger of invasion of citizens' privacy

Deputies expressed skepticism over proposed amendments to the Official Statistics Act, citing concerns about potential invasions of citizens' privacy. The amendments aim to align national legislation with European standards, regulate data production during crises, access to private data holders' information, and non-confidential data exchange between statistical authorities. HDZ and State Secretary Stipe Župan rejected these concerns.
