The August edition of the Great Britain - Cyprus Business
Gazette featured an article contributed by Michael Ioannou, Chief
Information Officer and Eleni Victoros, Associate and Data
Protection Officer. The article explores the significance of
Regulation (EU)2021/93 which introduced the Digital Covid
Certificate across the European Union as a means to facilitate
movement across Member States during the Covid 19 pandemic. It also
explains why such a document meets the 'Purpose limitation'
and 'Data minimization' tests set out in GDPR regulation
and explores some of the issues which have arisen in Cyprus where
the production of a 'Safe Pass' has become mandatory for
entry into most venues.
