I'm not sure what this document is, but it looks as though the Commissioner is saying that if the UK does not have a law that guarantees citizens' freedom from interception, the the UK government is in breach of EU law.
So if what "Andrew" at the Home Office is saying is true, then the government is breaking EU law.
So, either the Home Office has to admit that BT broke the law, or it has to admit that by failing to make BT's conduct illegal, the government had broken the law.

EDIT...Of course, huge thanks to Alexander. Stirling effort, that man. Above and beyond. |
Sadly, then, we can't quote it as something the Commissioner definitely said?
