The European Parliament's Civil Liberties Committee (LIBE Committee) voted this morning to adopt the Draft Resolution on US NSA surveillance programme, surveillance bodies in various Member States and their impact on EU citizens’ fundamental rights and on transatlantic cooperation.
The LIBE Committee also voted on 521 amendments to the original draft by MEP Claude Moraes. The outcome appears to overwhelmingly favor a strongly worded resolution. Amendments brought by rightwing Euroskeptics attempting to dilute the resolution were uniformly rejected.
