The reason for this method, according to officials, is anxiety about the possible US intervention in the European Commission’s internal IT systems.
The European Commission began issuing some of its employees sent to the United States, disposable phones and main laptops out of fear about possible spies. FT reported this on Monday, April 14th.
Such steps were previously used on trips to China.
The new recommendations are associated, in particular, the three European Commissars who are going to Washington for the IMF spring meetings and the World Bank from April 21 to 26. This is the European Commissioner for Economics, Valdis Dombrovskis, head of the Financial Services Department, Maria Luis Albuquerque and European Commissioner for International Partnershipper Partnershiper Joseph Sicel.
The reason for this method, according to officials, is anxiety about the possible US intervention in the European Commission’s internal IT systems.
After Donald Trump’s return to the presidency, the relationship between Brussels and Washington was cooled. Trump has accused the EU of creating a block for “pumping” resources from the United States, introduced 20% of the fee for goods in Europe, and also increased pressure in Ukraine and threatened to stop Sicherheitsgaraanen for Europe.
In addition, officials are advised to turn off phones at the United States border and hide them on special anti -scion covers. They are also recommended to use diplomatic passports instead of national.
According to experts, such measures suggest that even allies, such as the United States, can create exceptional methods to protect their own interests. The political scientist of the Brussels Institute of Geopolitics Luke Van Middlear recalled that even the Barack Obama administration was accused of spying against chancellor Angel Merkel.
Remember that German’s future Chancellor Friedrich Mertz believes the world economy may expect a financial crisis because of Trump’s policy. In his opinion, countries in the European Union should prepare for possible problems.
