Activity report 2020 - Control of special and certain ordinary intelligence methods [pdf]
The Standing Committee I published on a biannual basis an activity report in English by translating the most relevant sections of the activity reports of the last two years (review investigations, control of special intelligence methods and recommendations). As from 2016 the Committee decided to publish its reports annually. As from 2018, it decided to propose a full translation of its activity reports due to the diversification of its assignments. Doing so, the Committee wishes to meet the expectations of a broader public, in the context of globalization.
