- (FR) The European Parliament has just shown, by refusing to grant itself the power to investigate the 'Echelon' global spy system, that it in fact has little interest in protecting European interests and that the majority of the House is obeying other, higher priority considerations.
Europa-Parlamentet har netop ved at afvise at give sig selv myndighed til at foretage en undersøgelse af det globale spionagenetværk, Echelon, vist, at det reelt kun bekymrer sig lidt for at beskytte EU's interesser, og at dets flertal underkaster sig andre og højere prioriterede hensyn.
