Netherlands: Tapping mobile phones

01 July 2003

The Dutch Ministry of Justice will pay the costs, estimated at about 20 million British Pounds, to adapt the present mobile telephone network (ATF nets 2 & 3) to the needs of law enforcement and security agencies who have not been able to monitor mobile telephone communications since these new networks became operational in the mid-1980s. The cabinet has now introduced a bill which will force network operators to provide and pay for facilities to allow the monitoring of telecommunications by government agencies on all future systems.

Our work is only possible with your support.
