Press release about its publication Politico regarding her sister MEP under investigation Eva Kylieissued by the lawyer of Ms. Madalena Kailis, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos.

“After the inaccurate publication of the international news site Politico about the activities of the European Legal Observatory on New Technologies – ELONTech,

It is specified that:

ELONTech is a free, non-profit, non-political initiative of legal and technology scholars and professionals that, since 2018, without forming a legal entity or bank account, has been offering information on issues such as digital identity, law and artificial intelligence, digital taxation. , Smart Contracts, Human Rights in the Metaverse, Ms. The ELONTech team included individuals with international prestige who volunteered their time whenever an appropriate invitation was received.

ELONTech is not a non-governmental organization.

More than 3,000 registrants attended and took part in the mostly online events he organized. While the end of the year welcomed over 100 expert speakers and leading thinkers who volunteered to share their knowledge with the ELONTech audience. It was also attended by dozens of politicians and political leaders from states and organizations inside and outside the EU.

ELONTech has never asked for money from the participants of the workshops and seminars it organized.

ELONTech has never been funded by the EU.

The Commission confirmed that ELONTech has never received funding for any of its activities and has never provided services to the EU Blockchain Observatory.

The EU Transparency Register itself – the EU’s official institutional body – found that ELONTech was an inactive registration and removed it from the EU Transparency Register. It is not true that the deletion was initiated by M. Kylie or that she requested the deletion as he was not aware of this particular entry that it existed.

The Lobbyfacts.eu website, which has nothing to do with the European Transparency Institute, unreasonably continues to list ELONTech even though the relevant European agency has removed it, thereby misleading the public that ELONTech offers lobbying services, which is not true.”
