Wichtige Enthüllungen kamen in den letzten Wochen über die massiven internationalen Überwachungssysteme der Vereinigten Staaten, dem Vereinigten Königreich und Frankreich ans Licht. Programme wie PRISM und TEMPORA untergraben die Grundrechte der europäischen Bürger und der Menschen auf der ganzen Welt. In seiner Resolution  RC-B7-0336/2013 vom 4. Juli 2013 hat das Europäische Parlament die Spionage verurteilt und fordert dringende Maßnahmen an einer ganzen Reihe von Fronten. Auch die Europäische Kommission hat ihr Besorgnis über die bisher nicht bekannte Massen-Überwachung ausgedrückt.

Die Grünen / EFA im Europäischen Parlament arbeiten jetzt an einem Follow-up. Wir sind aktiv an den Vorbereitungen für die Sonderuntersuchung des LIBE-Ausschusses beteiligt. Zusammen mit  Judith Sargentini und Rui Tavares habe ich die folgenden Fragen zur schriftlichen Beantwortung an die Kommission gerichet:

  • Has any information obtained by PRISM and/or TEMPORA been processed or otherwise included in analyses by Europol and/or Eurojust?
  • Has any information obtained by PRISM and/or TEMPORA been processed or otherwise included in analyses by the EU Intelligence Analysis Centre (INTCEN)?
  • Which safeguard are/will be put in place in the Europol / Eurojust regulations to prevent the processing of data obtained illegally?
  • Has data obtained by Tempora or other GCHQ programs been used for profiling together with the UK e-Borders (PNR) program?
  • Which safeguards has the European Commission built into to EU PNR proposal to prevent any cross references between PNR data and data obtained illegally by secret services? And how will such safeguards be enforced?
  • Can the Commission join the case by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) in the United States Supreme Court against PRISM and related programs as amicus curiae? Will the Commission consider this?
  • Has the Commission started infringement procedures against the United Kingdom because of TEMPORA with a view to the e-Privacy Directive, Article 16 TFEU and Articles 7, 8, and 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights?
  • Has the Commission started infringement procedures against other Member States because of information about their telecommunications surveillance programs with a view to the e-Privacy Directive, Article 16 TFEU and Articles 7, 8, and 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights?
  • Will the Commission revise its cloud computing strategy in light of the recent surveillance revelations, specifically PRISM and the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendment Act, Section 1881a, and set up a clear and consistent cloud computing initiative that addresses all the issues and promotes EU cloud initiatives that fully embody the protection of all civil liberties?
  • Can the Commission guarantee that SWIFT data and PNR data obtained by the US under the EU US PNR and TFTP agreements are not matched with data obtained under the PRISM program? If not, will the Commission seek to suspend these agreements?
