US does not want to give up surveillance of Germany - media
Despite initial assurances, the US does not want to sign a cooperation agreement between intelligence services with Germany that is meant to guarantee refusal from mutual wiretapping, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper says Tuesday citing sources in German government circles. ● "The Americans have deceived us", - a high-ranking source in the government of the Federal Republic of Germany said to the newspaper. As reported by the Sueddeutsche Zeitung, among other things Washington refuses to inform the German partners, when the wiretapping of the Chancellor’s cell phone began. The USA also does not give out information, whether other German politicians were objects of surveillance. Washington refuses to fulfill the requirements of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Germany and admit German specialists to the territory of the US Embassy in Berlin, from where, perhaps, the surveillance of the Bundestag and the office of the Federal Chancellor had been conducted, the newspaper notes.
