"The resolution may criticise the situation concerning the transmission of data to the USA, but it accepts its legalisation. We have a series of international police state measures to which we are adding a new one. The Council of Ministers for Justice has decided to allow police surveillance on the territory of other Member States of suspects from the territory of the police conducting the surveillance. This is allowed for a wide range of crimes, whereas before it was only possible for offences which resulted in the extradition of the suspect. These crimes, apart from terrorism, murder, kidnap, taking hostages, trafficking in human beings, transporting explosives and transporting toxic waste, also include theft, offences of a serious sexual nature and smuggling drugs and psychotropic substances. The French and German police will only need to request authorisation from the Greek authorities or notify them of the surveillance. Thus, soon the cafés in Omonia Square and Syntagma Square, especially in the run-up to the Olympics, will look like a scene from an Ian Fleming or John Le Carré novel. The French policeman will be watching a pickpocket, the German policeman will be watching a junkie and the Greek police will just be looking on. We saw this with the murky Van affair, where foreigners conducted surveillance and which was linked to the 17 November affair, and now we shall see them ‘legally’ imposing complete chaos and a Euro-police state and subverting national sovereignty."@en1
