lpv:translated text	". There continues to be a storm of incomprehensible hypocrisy on the subject of Echelon and the interception of citizens’ communications: hypocrisy on the part of the Member States of the Union which are part of the Echelon system and yet remained silent as to its existence, hypocrisy on the part of those Member States – Holland, France and Germany, in particular – which, although not part of the Echelon system, have developed and implemented systems which perform exactly the same functions of intercepting the international and national communications of citizens through the recognition of key words, and hypocrisy on the part of the European Parliament, which decided not to furnish itself with the powers of inquiry which would have enabled it to carry out a proper investigation into the existence and functioning of Echelon. Although Echelon is a completely illegal system under international, European and national law, no European institution or Member State is taking any steps to protect citizens’ rights by instituting a lawsuit for violation of the right to privacy. If – as regards Echelon and interception of communications – the aim is to produce a European intelligence system, this system must be subject to the basic rules of democracy: the law must be genuinely transparent, it must be clearly regulated, it must be subject to democratic and judicial control and there must be guarantees for the citizens."@en1
