lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, the question was asked of why we are discussing this today. Let us be very clear that, following the very tortuous and difficult NSA inquiry, even the United States has begun a journey of international norms against economic espionage and is trying to protect citizens against this deeply unnecessary spying. Spying against terrorism and our genuine security needs is important but, as the Commissioner said, here we are dealing with companies in Western Europe and dealing with potential violation of – in this case – German law and European law. What are we talking about? We are talking about what the and said was a very big deal indeed. We are talking about two of our big Member States – Germany and France. While I am loathe to deal with individual Member States, just as I had to deal with my own Member State in relation to the NSA inquiry, we must as a Parliament deal with the protection of our citizens against unnecessary violations of their privacy. That is what we are doing today. We are dealing with many allegations, and they are a big deal, as the said. What must we do? We must ensure that we have oversight procedures. We do not have competence in this area but, as we said in the NSA inquiry, we must ask the Member States to make progress in this area. They are clearly not doing this, and we are serving a reminder today that we must ask the Member States to make concrete steps ahead. I also remind people that it was the Bundestag and the individual Member State that made progress here, not just journalists. It was individual members of the German Parliament who tried to make progress and uncovered many of these revelations. They were right to do so, and Members of the European Parliament are right to do so when European law and fundamental rights are threatened."@en1
