                UK implantiert ENFOPOL

      Was zu befürchten war, ist eingetreten. Grossbritannien  
setzt die ENFOPOL Proposals um,  Moratorium des EU- 
Ministerrats, Proteste der GSM & Internet/provider, von  
Bürgerrechtlern & der ganz normalen Community, hin oder  
her. 
 
Andere [sozialdemokratische] Regierungen werden folgen, so  
war das seit dem Treffen von Trevi 1993 intendiert. 
 
Das österreichische Polizei/befugnis/gesetz, ein weiterer  
Klon von ENFOPOL, ist nur deshalb noch immer in der  
Schwebe, weil Wahlen anstehen. Wir werden uns noch  
wundern, wenn sie vorüber sind.

Consultation paper on the Interception of Communications  
published in circumstances intended to minimise reporting or  
public discussion.  
 
 
 
Controversial new plans for intercepting e-mail, the Internet,  
pagers, mobile phones and all new types  
telecommunications services were proposed in Britain last  
week. If the new law is passed as proposed, all  
"communications service providers" (CSPs) will be required  
at their own expense to build in government interception  
facilitities to their networks. The proposed new law follows  
the specifications secretly agreed by European police  
officials in the ENFOPOL plans revealed last year.  
 
Legal obligations to be imposed on CSPs will include all  
Internet Service Providers operating in the UK, whether large  
or small. It will also cover "interception of business  
telecommunication services, ranging from basic networks of  
a few lines found within a small office to large networks  
linking offices, in both the public and private sectors".  
 
Developing or introducing new networks or systems which  
cannot be monitored will breach the new interception law,  
according to the British Home Office. The need to provide  
interception interfaces "will be an ongoing requirement which  
CSPs will have to consider each time they develop their  
network or introduce new services".  
 
The government expects the British telecommunications  
industry, not the police, to pay all the costs of installing  
tapping facilities. They expect CSPs "Communication  
Service Providers to pay for the provision and maintenance of  
the basic intercept capability defined in the requirements  
issued by the Secretary of State".
