lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it has long been the reality that the USA could intercept any electronic communication anywhere in the world but the advent of the Internet and digital communications has created a whole new treasure trove of information which can be plundered by the security services. The reason that so many terrorist attacks in the UK and elsewhere have been thwarted is precisely because the security services have accessed the terrorist communications. Now that is on the plus side, but on the minus side the state now has the technical means to know almost everything about individual citizens. Now the challenge for democratic nation states is to ensure that access to personal information is only used according to strict legally established and internationally observed rules which protect the individual from the state. What we do not need is the EU using this issue to further assert its pretentions to be a political state. Equally it does not help that the British Government is now nothing more than a lapdog of the USA."@en1
