Dr. Vytenis Andriukaitis:

I agree with the Senator that data protection is a complicated issue. I am on his side because it is very dangerous. It is a huge challenge to send a patient register via the Internet from one reference centre to another. We need to use our possibilities to act in a more efficient way. I fully agree with the Senator's statement. I would like to take it and discuss its possibilities in our college. We are looking at how to change data protection law. We know that this question is related to the discussion on terrorist attacks. The same question arose during the discussion on passenger name records. There must be checks and balances between the human rights package and the reality. Of course the same thing applies vice versain the sense that having effective tools to defend people's health helps to defend human rights. I am on the Senator's side.

I was also asked about obesity. I would like to read about Ireland's situation. We are ready to answer. Perhaps it would be possible to collect the various questions together so that we can answer them in more detail. I am ready to go to Grange because that is where we must be for our next meeting. It is a little far from this Parliament.
