Chancellor Merkel has dismissed allegations that Germany’s foreign intelligence agency illegally helped the US spy on European firms and officials. It is the first time she has publicly commented on the matter.
On Monday, Angela Merkel announced that her office would be willing to cooperate with a parliamentary investigation into the accusations of misconduct.
According to the latest allegations, published in Der Spiegel news magazine on Saturday, Germany’s foreign intelligence service BND helped the NSA to conduct surveillance on German officials and firms.
This includes German arms manufacturers and companies such as Airbus.
