(98/C 196/177)
WRITTEN QUESTION P-0501/98
by Elly Plooij-van Gorsel (ELDR) to the Council
(17 February 1998)
Subject: Monitoring of European telephone, fax and e-mail traffic by
the US
1. Is the Council aware of the substance of the report commissioned
by the European Parliament entitled: æAn Appraisal of Technologies of
Political Control?
2. Is it true that the United States systematically monitor
telephone, fax, e-mail and telex traffic in the Member States of the
European Union?
3. Is it true that the United Kingdom serves as a relay station for
this activity? If so, does this occur with the knowledge and
agreement of the other Member States of the European Union? Might the
President of the Council be able to throw some light on the matter?
4. Did large-scale monitoring of communications channels take place
during the GATT and WTO negotiating rounds and during the conclusion
of the Basic Telecoms Agreement? If so, to what extent has this had
an adverse effect on the European Unions position, and to what
extent has this damaged the commercial interests of European
businesses?
Answer
(30 April 1998)
The report referred to in point 1 has not been officially transmitted
to the Council. The Council is not aware of the matters mentioned by
the Honourable Member in points 2, 3 and 4.
