EU report reveals massive scope of secret NSA surveillance
The European Parliament has wrapped up its inquiry into mass surveillance. ● In a draft report, politicians are being hard on all sides - the US government, the NSA, but also on hesitant EU governments and companies. It was Thursday afternoon and the first week after the winter break – and it was hardly a surprise that only few seats were filled in room JAN 2Q2 at the European Parliament (EP) in Brussels. But Claude Moraes, British MEP from the group of Socialists and Social Democrats (S&D), woke the European Union from its winter slumber with a bang. The rapporteur of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) had come to present the 52-page draft report on the committee's inquiry into the NSA spying scandal and its implications on European citizens. The draft report is hard on all sides - including governments and companies in the EU.
