Also when it comes to listening to normal citizens, should not be accepted anymore, in a common agreement, and I think that is of the upmost importance, because we have not a free feeling to go forward together, if you are feeling that your neighbour and friend is monitoring you.\"\u003cbr/\u003e3.

I think we should have standards, we should have standards within intelligence, we should have accountability and transparency standards. By the way within the European Union, I think we fall below those standards in some of our member states. This is also an issue that our inquiry in the European Parliament is also looking at, so we do have our own house to deal with in this situation.\"\u003cbr/\u003e5.
