"The Federal Data Protection Commissioner, Andrea Vosshoff, is seriously concerned about data protection at the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich, and has made her views known to the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Committee on Legal Affairs of the Bundestag.At the end of September the Federal Government will be issuing a report in committee.This has been prompted by a specific case: In June it became known that spyware had been installed on a computer in an area which was accessible to visitors."
