Period(s) of implementation

Analysis: In August 2013, the French government presented the 2014-2019 Military Planning Bill (Loi de programmation militaire or LPM), whose article 13 sought to legalize these existing “alegal” practices. First presented as a way too boost intelligence capabilities in the fight against terrorism while bringing news safeguards, the government’s proposal provided intelligence agencies with both ex post and real-time access to metadata, including geographic metadata.

The law's chapter II also extended the prerogatives of the Parliamentary Delegation for Intelligence (DPR) to the "parliamentary oversight of the Government's action in the field of intelligence" and to the evaluation of public policy in this field. Article 13 also amended a 2002 Finance Law to make the parliamentary committee in charge of auditing intelligence budgets part of the DPR.
