Pellegrini: Discussion beginning on rules for digital world

People's lives are gradually moving into the digital world, but it isn't clear yet what rules they will abide by there, said Peter Pellegrini at a briefing following the OECD Going Digital summit on Monday. He also delivered a speech at the summit, as Slovakia is presiding over the OECD Ministerial Council this year. According to the premier, in some digitisation parameters Slovakia exceeds the average for OECD countries. "This concerns, for example, the number of people who use the internet to shop; that is, they already operate online. We even have higher participation rates for women in the IT sector than the average for OECD countries, and it's quite significant," he said. In other respects, however, Slovakia lags behind, especially in the area of small and medium-sized businesses.
