The bill approved today includes a range of measures to improve control of the BND action after revelations which proceeded the informatics Edward Snowden, a former adviser to the National Security Agency (National Security Agency, NSA) of the USA.
An independent judicial body will be updated when the BND will proceed in espionage operations against German allies. These judges will also have the right to make unannounced inspections.
The Bundestag under the bill would also see greater oversight role in the BND, and the heads of the German information services will be required to appear once a year at least to the federal parliament.
