>  Rebecca Harms [11], co-president of the Greens/EFA Group in the
> European Parliament, announced a project to use trustworthy
> encryption [12] in cooperation and dialogue with European
> Parliament IT services and Debian. Recognising that we "live in a
> digital environment polluted by pervasive surveillance", she sees
> encrypted software as a small first step to ensure nobody but the
> intended recipent of an email can read it. Greens/EFA will use a
> selection of Free Software from Debian running on regular consumer
> laptops. "As Greens in the European Parliament we are very pleased
> that we are supported by Debian [...], a community of programmers
> and developers abiding to a social contract [13] to share and
> maintain their common resource which they call Free Software", she 
> said.
