“I want to congratulate me of a very large majority in favor of the text on intelligence, which preserves our fundamental freedoms, but that frames the activity of our intelligence and gives them more resources to they are the most effective possible, “responded the Prime Minister in the corridors.
PS deputies, of which 252 voted in favor (of 288) as the radical left (17, 0 against) “assume” the text, preferring as president of the Assembly Claude Bartolone a “law” rather than “pharmacies without democratic control.” But ten socialists did not follow the government.

The UMP majority voted for
143 for the UMP voted overwhelmingly in favor of the text. But some, including issues of digital specialists such as Lionel Tardy and Laure the Raudière, and elected officials around the Manif for all as Claude Goasguen or Jean-Frédéric Poisson, voted against. They are 35 in all. The UDI is divided. 17 of the 30 members supported the law, including the party chairman Jean-Christophe Lagarde. Hervé Morin, former Defence Minister, has done the opposite.
As they had announced, the Greens rejected the text. Only five of them, including Denis Baupin or François de Rugy, co-chair of EELV group in the Assembly, gave their votes. Unsurprisingly the elected Left Front voted against by “sense of the rule of law.”
Both FN followed their president Marine Le Pen, who judge the future “dangerous” law for public freedoms. Other non members, Thomas Thévenoud, former PS, also voted against, all as sovereigntist Nicolas Dupont-Aignan.
The Constitutional Council will consider two both
This broad approval does not put an end to the debates that will continue in late May in the Senate. Faced with the controversy, François Hollande announced that he himself would seize the Constitutional Council, is unprecedented under the Fifth Republic, at the end of the parliamentary shuttle to bring the “guarantee” that the text is “conforms” to the Constitution.
A group of 75 members, 66 of UMP will not vote against all necessarily, also intends to seize the Constitutional Council “to ask their own questions,” regardless of referral to the president.
The bill defines the missions of the intelligence services (prevention of terrorism to economic espionage) and the system of authorization and control of espionage techniques ( see box . )
Fear of “widespread surveillance”
One particular issue crystallized the debate: setting place on the networks of operators, automatic analysis tools (an algorithm) to detect a “suspicious succession of connection data” a “terrorist threat”, a device called “black box” by detractors who compare to the practices of “generalized surveillance” of American NSA
Responsibilities Services can use techniques for the collection of information particularly in the following cases: national independence, territorial integrity and national defense – major interests of foreign policy and the prevention of any form foreign interference –
The authorized techniques. Will be permitted “security interceptions” (which may also contribute to the environment of the targeted person) on telephone conversations or e-mails contents. Services may also ask microphones, cameras, spy software. The text will legalize the use of “Imsi-catcher”, which intercept in a given area all communications, imitating the operation of a mobile phone masts. The government will require operators to communication and internet service providers to implement an algorithm that can detect a “terrorist threat” by a series of behaviors on the Internet, such as sites visited and typed keywords.
control. The text creates a “National Intelligence Technical Control Commission” composed of six parliamentarians, three members of the State Council, three judges of the Court of Cassation and a specialist in electronic issues. The Commission must give advance notice (within 24 hours, exceptionally three days) at each implementation of these intelligence techniques, except in an emergency. The Prime Minister’s Office, which issue permits for 4 months renewable, can ignore this advice but will motivate him.
