Dutch PM promises improvement after critical report on text message archiving
For years, the Ministry of General Affairs did not store Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s text messages well enough, the Government Information and Heritage Inspectorate ruled in a critical report. The Ministry archived the messages according to a “government-wide instruction,” but not always according to the law on archiving government documents (Archives Act). The way in which they stored the texts also led to data loss. The Ministry will investigate where the instruction for saving texts should be adjusted, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in response.
