NSA and GCHQ mass surveillance is violation of European law, report finds
The authors of a new study on mass-scale surveillance have
accused the intelligence services of the US and EU countries of
violating European law and urged the European parliament to take action.
Sergio Carrera, a Spanish jurist, and Francesco Ragazzi, a professor of international relations at Leiden University in the Netherlands, who co-wrote the paper, made the appeal for European action at a hearing in the EU parliament in Brussels on Thursday.
They said the US National Security Agency (NSA), the UK's GCHQ and equivalent bodies in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden had breached basic articles of the EU treaty, such as article 4.3 on "sincere co-operation", as well as privacy clauses in the EU charter of fundamental values and in the European charter of fundamental rights.
They also noted that EU agencies such as the joint police body, Europol, and the EU foreign service's intelligence-sharing branch, IntCen, were in all likelihood using data "stolen" from European citizens.
"It's no longer credible to say the EU has no legal competence and should do nothing on this. Sorry, we don't think this is acceptable," Carrera said.
"We are witnessing a systematic breach of people's fundamental rights," he added.
Ragazzi said: "The bigger the crisis, the more the system of checks and balances should be reinforced. This is what distinguishes democracies from police states."
The idea that espionage is a national prerogative has been widely used to deflect EU queries into the scandal.
The British ambassador to the EU, Sir John Cunliffe, in a letter to the EU parliament last month said the GCHQ chief, Sir Iain Lobban, had no obligation to answer MEPs' questions because "national security is the sole responsibility of member states".
But Carrera and Ragazzi urged MEPs to use "all the powers at their disposal" to break the wall of silence.
They said the EU parliament should threaten to block an EU-US free trade agreement unless the NSA and GCHQ disclose the full nature of their surveillance programmes.
They said MEPs should push EU countries to draft a "professional code for the transnational management of data".
They also called for new EU laws to stop internet companies giving information to intelligence services, to protect whistleblowers such as the NSA leaker Edward Snowden, and to form a permanent oversight body on intelligence matters.
Snowden's revelations show that GCHQ alone hoovers up 21 petabytes of internet data each day, while the NSA has forced private companies such as Facebook to hand over customers' files.
A senior Facebook executive, Erika Mann, was due to attend the EU hearing on Thursday but cancelled at the last minute citing agenda problems.
The head of IntCen, the former Finnish spy chief Ilkka Salmi, spoke in a closed session on Thursday morning, but said only – according to one MEP – that it was "natural" that intelligence services intercepted their own citizens' emails and phone calls.

GERMAN POPULATION DOESNT TRUST ANY LONGER IN USA AND UK,
ALSO NOT IN RUSSIA
( Article in German ) :
USA so unbeliebt wie zu Bush-Zeiten
Auf dem Höhepunkt seines Ansehens waren
neun von zehn Deutschen mit US-Präsident Obama zufrieden - nun sind es
nur noch 43 Prozent. Und gar nur 35 Prozent halten Amerika für einen
verlässlichen Partner. Das sind Werte wie zu Zeiten George W. Bushs.
Von Jörg Schönenborn, WDR
Nicht nur auf der politischen Ebene ist das
deutsch-amerikanische Verhältnis ramponiert. Auch das öffentliche
Ansehen der USA und ihres Präsidenten ist nach den weiteren Enthüllungen
über die Arbeit der amerikanischen Geheimdienste stark beschädigt.
Selten hatten in den Erhebungen des ARD-DeutschlandTrends in den
vergangenen 15 Jahren die Deutschen so wenig Zutrauen zum amerikanischen
Partner, noch nie wurde die Arbeit von US-Präsident Obama so negativ
bewertet.
Nur den Russen trauen die Deutschen noch weniger
Gerade mal 35 Prozent der Befragten halten die
USA noch für einen verlässlichen Partner. Das sind Werte, wie wir sie
aus der Zeit von Präsident George W. Bush kennen. Nach dem Amtsantritt
von Obama Anfang 2009 hatten allerdings 78 Prozent eine positive
Einschätzung des Verbündeten. Seither bröckelt das Vertrauen.
Ungebrochen ist es nur zum direkten Nachbarn Frankreich, den nennen 80
Prozent "vertrauenswürdig". Bei Großbritannien sind es 50 Prozent, bei
Russland 20 Prozent. Die Zahlen machen deutlich, wo die Deutschen die
Vereinigten Staaten mittlerweile einordnen.
Auch ein so genanntes "No-Spy-Abkommen", also
eine Vereinbarung zwischen den USA und der Bundesrepublik darüber, dass
man sich gegenseitig nicht mehr ausspioniert, würde daran nichts ändern.
92 Prozent der Befragten rechnen damit, dass die USA ein solches
Abkommen brechen und trotzdem weiterhin in Deutschland mit ihren
Geheimdiensten aktiv sein würden.
Edward Snowden, dessen Verhalten nach den ersten
Enthüllungen im Sommer durchaus noch umstritten war, gilt nun der
Mehrheit der Befragten (60 Prozent) als Held. Nur 14 Prozent sehen ihn
als Straftäter. Trotzdem lehnen erstaunlich viele Menschen den Wunsch
nach politischem Asyl in der Bundesrepublik ab. Offenbar ist ihnen
bewusst, dass dies einen noch tieferen Keil zwischen Deutschland und die
USA treiben würde. 46 Prozent (+ 11 gegenüber Juli) befürworten die
Aufnahme von Snowden, 48 Prozent (- 10) lehnen sie ab - ein
unentschiedenes Bild.
