Csaba Sógor on the Tavares report

“I did not vote for the report. It draws exaggerated conclusions from questionable facts. The proposals in the document are imprecise and unfeasible. The text is improved though, compared to the original. There is no need to send the report to the External Affairs Office of the USA government; they have already seen it through PRISM.
