Die Telefone von EU-Büros wurden abgehört!
Nur wenige Nationen verfügen über die entsprechende Technik, die verwendet wurde.
Stecken die USA dahinter? Und wie sollte darauf reagiert werden?

Wiretapping Found at French, German, UK EU Offices

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Telephone bugs have been discovered at offices used by France, Germany and Britain in the building where European Union leaders are due to hold a summit this week, an EU spokesman said on Wednesday.
Sweden's EU ambassador said only a few intelligence services were capable of installing such sophisticated devices, which may have been in action undetected ever since the pink granite EU Council building was inaugurated in 1995.
Officials said the wiretapping devices, found in a routine security sweep on February 28, were attached to phone lines to delegation suites used regularly by national leaders, ministers and senior officials attending EU meetings.
The countries targeted were France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain and Austria, the officials said.
The French newspaper Le Figaro, which broke the story in a brief item in its diplomatic gossip column, accused the United States of being behind the wiretapping, revealed amid acute transatlantic tension over looming war in Iraq.
But Dominique-Georges Marro, head of the EU Council press service, told reporters: "We do not know who is behind it. I don't know who was on the other end of the line."
After EU ambassadors were briefed on the espionage affair, Swedish envoy Sven-Olaf Petersson told reporters: "They were very sophisticated installations, we are told, which only a few intelligence services are able to install."
He said the devices had been found on February 28, attached to certain phone lines in the central switchboard. It was not clear why ministers and ambassadors were not informed until after the Le Figaro report.
