The Liberals and Democrats in the European Parliament have today expressed great concern about the scope and the content of the French bill on intelligence (project de loi sur le renseignement) that is this week being discussed in the French National Assembly through an accelerated procedure. This draft national law, which aims at improving the French intelligence services, could have a spill-over effect that creates mass surveillance systems in Europe in contravention of European Union law and its founding values. ALDE members of the LIBE committee, in both a letter and a parliamentary question, urge the Commission to verify and ensure that the bill includes with the necessary democratic and judiciary mechanisms, and that it complies with the values and principles of the European Union.
