      Laut einem Bericht der Sunday Times von heute tritt  
Deutschland  für ein weiteres Lausch/angriffssystem ein. EU- 
weit soll es Informationen gerecht auf alle Dienste verteilen.   
Frankreich und England sind gar nicht so besonders daran  
interessiert, weil sie selber je eines haben. Wieviele  
Echelons braucht die Welt? 
 
post/scrypt: Wen interessiert, was der für das vorbeugende  
Lausch/Polizeibefugnisgesetz.at  massgebliche Beamte des  
Innenmisteriums.at sagt & was er drauf zu hören kriegt, tune  
heute, Sonntag um 22.30 den Sender OE 1 Radio ein.

Stephen Grey and John Goetz 
November 22 1998... 
the German government is drawing up plans for a European  
Union spy agency as part of a proposed "harmonisation" of  
Europe's intelligence services.  
 
British intelligence is wary of becoming too intimate with  
foreign bodies such as the BND, Germany's accident-prone  
foreign security service.  
... 
"I simply see a common intelligence service as a part of the  
logic of the development of Europe," said Ernst Uhrlau, the  
former Hamburg police chief appointed to oversee Germany's  
intelligence services under Schröder.  
.... 
This does not go far enough for Bonn. In recent international  
crises, including those in Kosovo and the Gulf, continental  
European countries have often had to rely on whatever  
intelligence America has chosen to provide. The Germans  
worry that this puts London, which has a special intelligence- 
sharing arrangement with Washington, in a privileged  
position.  
... 
In recent months Germany has drawn up a series of  
agreements to exchange secret information with France. A  
joint network of listening posts in the Dordogne, French  
Guiana and New Caledonia, is used by both powers to tap  
into telecommunications satellites, including those carrying  
American phone calls.  
... 
"German foreign intelligence, the BND, has been one of the  
most penetrated spy services in the world," said a British  
security source. "The French security services have also  
been highly penetrated. And they have been routinely involved  
in assassinations and undercover wars in Africa, not to  
mention blowing up the [Greenpeace boat] Rainbow Warrior,  
which would never be acceptable in Britain."
