According to a legislation amended in 2005, phone tapping activities of the country’s official intelligence agency, police and the gendarmerie, will be overseen by a person or a commission appointed by the prime minister.�

Then President Ahmet Necdet Sezer filed a case in the constitutional court to demand the annulment of the legislation.

Legal experts and analysts hailed the decision, saying the ruling will help to base wiretapping activities on court orders.
