October 29, 2013 01:11
Spain has urged the US to give details of any eavesdropping, amid reports it monitored 60 million Spanish telephone calls in a month. The US ambassador to Spain, who had been summoned by its EU minister, vowed to clear the "doubts" that had arisen about his country's alleged espionage.
The minister, Inigo Mendez de Vigo, said such practices, if true, were "inappropriate and unacceptable". An EU delegate in Washington said there had been "a breakdown of trust".
