“British and American intelligence agencies had a comprehensive list of surveillance targets that included the EU’s competition commissioner, German government buildings in Berlin and overseas, and the heads of institutions that provide humanitarian and financial help to Africa. The papers show GCHQ, in collaboration with NSA, was targeting organisations such as the United Nations development programme, the UN’s children’s charity Unicef and Médecins du Monde. Britain’s targeting of Germany may prove awkward for the prime minister, David Cameron: in October, he endorsed an EU statement condemning NSA spying on world leaders, including Merkel.”
