"Mr President, I should like to say a big thank you to the rapporteur, Mr Schmid, and also to Mr von Boetticher and to the committee chairman, Mr Coelho. You have all carried out important work. ECHELON proved to be less extensive than we had believed, and the issue has now been somewhat defused. The ECHELON debate has nonetheless helped increase awareness of these issues, something which was vital. Interception and military espionage are phenomena which we shall not be able to abolish, or which we even wish to abolish, as long as terrorism and threats to the EU and its citizens exist. The issue for the future concerning the way in which total security systems are to be developed without violating fundamental principles has advanced a stage. There is no proof that the United States has damaged global competitiveness by spreading information about companies. However, the report shows the need we have to develop security and encryption. I particularly welcome the clear opposition to bribes. As a Swede, I feel that is an extremely good development. Obviously, cooperation at EU level on this issue involves having national control stations in accordance with the network proposed. The committee’s work on ECHELON helped bring us closer together, thanks to the very special qualities of the rapporteur, Mr Schmid."@en1
