The Presidency of the Tunisian Government has announced that several public institutions are currently undergoing a restructuring process, based on a renewed evaluation-driven approach aimed at enhancing efficiency, strengthening public financial governance, and preserving fundamental rights and freedoms as enshrined in the Tunisian Constitution.
This clarification was provided in response to questions submitted by MP Saber Masmoudi regarding the status of the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data and the Access to Information Authority. According to the government, this reform is part of a broader effort to adapt public structures to current challenges and reinforce their operational effectiveness.
Concerning the National Authority for the Protection of Personal Data, the Presidency highlighted that several provisions of Organic Law No. 63 of 2004 no longer align with technological advancements nor with the evolution of Tunisia’s legal framework. One example is the continued mention of a representative from the now-dissolved Chamber of Advisors within the authority’s board, alongside other provisions requiring revision.
The Presidency emphasized that updating the legal framework has become essential to ensure that data protection regulation keeps pace with digital transformation and that the authority can continue fulfilling its mission in accordance with international standards.
