ECHELON wieder im EU-Parlament-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Untersuchungsausschuss. Mehr davon morgen. .... The European Parliament is expected to widen its investigation into claims of espionage made in last week's controversial Echelon report. The European Union's executive Commission and national authorities will open testimony on the issue Thursday in Brussels, Belgium. ``This is the first time so much information has been gathered on Echelon while both the British and American governments continue to deny such surveillance systems,'' said Yaman Akdeniz of the British Cyber-Rights and Cyber-Liberties group. ``The genie is now out of the bottle. ``These systems are more surveillant of society, like something out of George Orwell's `1984.' This is happening in our democratic societies,'' Akdeniz said. ... ``We have to ask ourselves what the security threats are,'' Robert Evans, vice-chairman of the European Parliament's Committee on Citizen's Freedoms and Rights. ``We are not in an era of massive secrecy any more,'' since the Cold War is over. ``We would like to hear answers from governments.'' ... The U.S. National Security Agency, which is believed to head Echelon, sent a letter Feb. 24 to Congress saying it could ``neither confirm nor deny the existence of specific operations.'' ``However we can tell you that NSA operates in strict accordance with U.S. laws and regulations in protecting the privacy rights of U.S. persons,'' the NSA letter said. ... ``More needs to be done to establish the scope and impact of unlawful monitoring,'' said Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington ....
