EurActiv reported that the European Parliament planned on the 4 July 2013 to establish a special committee to investigate the reports that the American spy agency NSA monitored phone calls and e-mails of EU institutions and some member states. But some MEPs also sought to downplay pressure to freeze EU-US trade negotiations over the spying allegations. The special panel was established by the European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and would deliver a report by the end of 2013. Nevertheless EUObserver reported that the European Commission made clear on the 2 July 2013 that EU-US free trade talks were still scheduled to start on the 11 July 2013 despite tension over the issue. |
