"The experts analyzed the applications received producing two technical reports, one on privacy and one on the technological analysis of the solutions. I intend to receive in the next few hours the final report of the task force which I will take care of forwarding to President Conte and to the other members of the Government for the assessments and decisions of competence, together with the comments we have received from the Privacy Guarantor and from the Agcom ". So the Minister of Innovation, Paola Pisano, in hearing in the Transport Committee in the Chamber, about the tracking app under consideration of the task force of 74 experts appointed on March 31st.
"The results of the work of the commission of the Ministry of Innovation relating to the apps for tracking in anti-contagion function will be delivered to the government today. The work is in the final phase". Walter Ricciardi, consultant to the Minister of Health and representative for Italy at WHO, said this to ANSA. "There will be - he announces - a short list of apps, that is a shortlist of solutions to choose from".
The application - explained Pisano in his hearing - will have to comply with "seven" conditions, including "voluntary participation", added Pisano, the data must be "rendered sufficiently anonymous to prevent identification of the interested party".
The minister then explained that the goal of the app is not geolocation and that the tracking system will be publicly managed. He then warned that "it will not be an application to solve everything" and that some time will pass for effective implementation, because there is a need for an experimentation phase with a start-up and management plan, but also a system to support citizens in the effective use of the application.
