 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".
