When it became known that the issue of electronic surveillance was to be on the agenda of the September 1998 part-session of the European Parliament, the Omega Foundation was requested to prepare an updated Executive Summary of the Interim Study for use as a background document. The updated Executive Summary covers the various areas of the subject of technologies of political control dealt with in the Interim Study. However, the document in its present form concerns only the specific topic of electronic surveillance. The full version alone contains the footnotes and bilbiography. The Interim Study aroused great interest and the resultant high-profile press comment throughout the European Union and beyond indicates the level of public concern about many of the innovations detailed by the Study. This updated Executive Summary is framed by the same key objectives as the Interim Study, namely:- (i) To provide Members of the European Parliament with a succinct reference guide to recent advances in the technology of political control; (ii) To identify and describe the current state of the art of the most salient developments, further clarifying and updating the areas of the Interim Study which have aroused the greatest public concern and comment; (iii) To present MEP's with an account of current trends both within Europe and Worldwide; (iv) To suggest policy options covering regulatory strategies for the future democratic control and management of this technology; (v) To provide some further succinct background material to inform the Parliament's response to the proposed declaration by the Commission on electronic evesdropping which has been put on the agenda for the plenary session of the European Parliament, on Wednesday 16 September 1998. http://www.europarl.eu.int/dg4/stoa/en/publi/166499/execsum.htm (much more interesting material on "Appraisal of the Technology of Political Control" is available from this source) More links on Echelon: "I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return." — Senator Frank Church, quoted in: ECHELON: America's Secret Global Surveillance Network http://serendipity.nofadz.com/hermetic/crypto/echelon/echelon.htm Echelon: Interception Capabilities 2000 Information Security Portal, The Global Clearinghouse for Information Warfare on the Internet, Computer Security,Internet Security,Cybercrime Reporting,Firewalls,Encryption,Viruses,Cyberwar,Y2 http://www.infowar.com/class_2/99/class2_051199b_j.shtml CAQ links: http://www-douzzer.ai.mit.edu:8080/conspiracy/paulwolf/echelon.htm SIGHTINGS Investigation Into NSA's Top Secret ECHELON Spy Network Dropped By EU By Niall McKay Wired News www.wired.com 10-10-98 The European Parliament has swept aside concerns about alleged surveillance and spying activities conducted in the.. http://www.sightings.com/political/spynetwork.htm Wired News updated 11:30 a.m.18.Aug.99.PDT Did EU Scuttle Echelon Debate?
