"The European Parliamentary Labour Party voted against Amendment No 7 because we do not feel that a reference to the supposed ‘Echelon’ network is appropriate to this report. Allegations that such an ‘Echelon network’ exists are based on hearsay and circumstantial evidence. Furthermore, the democratic oversight of national intelligence services is, in any case, primarily a matter for national parliaments. The United Kingdom has one of the most effective systems of democratic oversight, both political and judicial, of its intelligence services in the world. Political oversight is exercised by a House of Commons committee, which has full access to documentation. Moreover, the intelligence operations of third countries, including the United States, operating in cooperation with British intelligence services within the United Kingdom, are also subject to the same democratic oversight."@en1
