For effective oversight over the covert surveillance activities, it is essential to obtain the information from the companies in a timely manner and in line with legislative requirements since we compare this data with the information received from the Courts and the Office of the Chief Prosecutor, and accordingly undertake supervisory measures, including inspections. We confirm our readiness to cooperate with the service provider companies and to continue individual consultations with them” – stated Mrs. Tamar Kaldani.
