 the right to be forgotten. The right to be forgotten is justified when it relates to illegally published, outdated or irrelevant information about individuals that cause significant damage, and when the interest in protecting the integrity of the individual prevails over the public interest to be informed. The following shall be observed and implemented with the aim of promoting trust in cyberspace and protecting the privacy of communication and information:  assessment of impacts on privacy in the development of ICT solutions,  data protection by design and by default,  use of personal data anonymization techniques,  use of encoding methods. 5.5 Interoperability and Standards Creating a digital society requires an effective interoperability among products and e-services. Ensuring interoperability in the EU is determined by the European interoperability framework (EIF) that incorporates several aspects: political context (compatible visions of cooperating partners), legal interoperability (aligned legislation), organisational interoperability (organisation and process alignment), semantic interoperability (semantic alignment), and technical interoperability (syntax, interaction and data transmission). A new legal framework has been valid in ICT standardisation since 2012: this is Regulation (EU) no. 1025/201210, which is a horizontal regulation on the system of European standardisation. The new legal framework enables the application of standards in legislation (harmonised standards) and public procurement. Since standardisation is a junction of private and public interests, ICT standards are a particular problem because of the interests of multinational enterprises that are the vehicles of standardisation and that use standards to consolidate and broaden their business position. The designation of ICT standards at the EU level is thus of key importance for preserving the competitiveness of European industry. The efficiency of standards and standardisation as EU policy tools requires a standardisation system that will provide a flexible and transparent platform for achieving consensus among all participants. To this end, the multi-stakeholder platform11 has been established on the basis of the Regulation; Slovenia will efficiently participate in it when the national coordination has been established. Interoperability based on open standards brings significant positive effects both for users of ICT products and services and their providers (the ICT sector) - particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are prevalent in Slovenia and the EU. It enables a faster development and implementation of innovations (technological, organisational, process), thus promoting faster 10 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:316:0012:0033:SL:PDF Multi-Stakeholder Platform on ICT Standardisation, http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/european-multi-stakeholderplatform-ict-standardisation 11 DIGITAL SLOVENIA 2020 - Development strategy for the information society until 2020 21
