1999 Siemens Monitor Center "Active Monitoring refers to the fact that the target (phone) numbers to be monitored are marked from within the network. The Monitoring functionality is a built in function of the “Switch”. For monitoring purposes, only targeted phone calls are routed to the MC. This can be compared with a three party conference call, in which the MC is a silent member of the conference call. Active Monitoring plays an active role in the communication network, in the sense that the Monitor Center is viewed as a subscriber to the network with a certain service level. Lawful Interception is an example for Active Monitoring." [Page 6]		application/pdf

Some of the requests that are possible under this structure will not necessarily be legal in all jurisdictions or proportionate in all situations. The goal of the present document is to define a structure that (at a technical level) allows a wide range of requests to be transmitted. Just because a request can be constructed within the framework in 7.5.1, it does not mean it is automatically a legal request. It is a national issue to establish whether or not a request is legal and proportionate." [p.17]		multipart/zip

They also reiterated the need for additional data protection safeguards. There are still divergent views on several key issues between the institutions, notably retention periods, costs and scope of application. A new article will place access to retained data outside of the european data protection directive, based on the exception for national security and public security.		application/pdf
