German Chancellor Angela Merkel seeks more data about NSA surveillance
German Chancellor
Angela Merkel said Sunday she was still waiting for more details from the U.S.
about the National Security Agency’s online data-collection and electronic
surveillance efforts
“I expect a clear commitment from the U.S. government that they will adhere to German law in the future when on German soil,” Mrs. Merkel said in a 20-minute interview with German television. “We are friends and allies. We are in a defense alliance, and we need to be able to rely on each other.”
In the meantime, the
German chancellor said the relationship Mr. Snowden exposed between the NSA and
U.S. Internet service providers underlined the need for a European-wide privacy
regime.
