"I am in favour of setting up a genuine committee of inquiry to investigate an infringement of fundamental rights by the Echelon interception system. However, I am voting against setting up a temporary committee, which, without a remit for its inquiry, I regard as a sop. If we only set up a temporary committee, the European Parliament will just be viewed as a paper tiger in its endeavours to cast some light on the activities of Echelon. The caution displayed by the major political groups in the EP about investigating Echelon demonstrates that there is no great interest in focusing on secret service activities, as the European public would then be quite justified in asking what the national secret services and so-called ‘defenders of the state’ actually do. Yet this would be even more important because not only are industrial secrets being monitored, but also the private and political activities of people in the EU."@en1
