Excerpt
Introduction: The present study entitled ‘Development of surveillance technology and risk of abuse of economic information’ presents the outcomes from a survey of the opinions of experts, together with additional research and analytical material by the author.

This STOA project is a follow up to an earlier one entitled: An appraisal of technologies of political control conducted on behalf the same Committee. The earlier project resulted in an Interim Study (PE 166.499) written by OMEGA Foundation, Manchester and published by STOA in January 1998 and updated September 1998. In the earlier study was reported that within Europe all fax, e-mail and telephone messages are routinely intercepted by the ECHELON global surveillance system. The monitoring is routine and indiscriminate. The ECHELON system forms part of the UKUSA system but unlike many of the electronic spy systems developed during the cold war, ECHELON is designed for primarily non-military targets: governments, organizations and businesses in virtually every country...
