Germany receives "no response" about NSA spying

German parliament member Omid Nouripour, from the opposition Greens, asked the German government in a formal parliamentary query if it had contacted Washington to discover what the NSA found out.

In a reply dated April 7 an official in the interior ministry replied that the government had asked about any information on Merkel but received no answer.

"They didn't ask firmly enough. If you ask half-heartedly, you won't get answers. Merkel needs to keep pressing for answers," Nouripour said.

He said he also asked "if the government had sought documents or files that might have been created in connection with the monitoring of Merkel's cell phone, and if the U.S. government was still holding records of her calls."

Germany's interior minister asked the U.S. embassy in Berlin for "information about the facts of the case" on October 24, 2013, the interior ministry told Nouripour in the government's reply, and added that German government officials "requested in numerous conversations with representatives of the American and British governments timely answers to a list of questions.

"The United States government has not provided any relevant information to the German government," Reuters quoted the German interior ministry.
