 Wired über ENFOPOL, Wassenaar tagt in Wien
 
 Neben der Abhörtagung der Innen- & Justizminister zu
 Brüssel (siehe unten) spielt es sich auch in der
 Donaumetropole ab. Ein Update über die schlimmen
 Aussichten für freie Kryptographie, die womöglich gerade
 jetzt bei der geheimen Tagung des Wassenaar-Plenums
 Wirklichkeit werden, folgt.

 Europe Is Listening
 Niall McKay
 5:10 p.m.  2.Dec.98.PST The European Union is quietly
 getting ready to approve legislation that will allow the police
 to eavesdrop both on Internet conversations and Iridium
 satellite telephone calls without obtaining court authorization.
 
 The legislation is part of a much wider memorandum of
 understanding between the EU, the United States, Canada,
 New Zealand, and Norway, a nonmember European nation.
 That agreement allows authorities to conduct telecom
 surveillance across international borders, according to a
 Europol document leaked to members of the European
 Parliament.
 
 "Security measures are often necessary in the cases of
 terrorism or organized crime," said Glyn Ford, a member of
 the European Parliament for the British Labour Party and a
 director of the EU's Civil Liberties and Internal Affairs
 Committee. "But what we need is some sort of democratic
 control. It seems to me that many security services are a law
 unto themselves."
