Probably the French themselves, they ahve a myriad of security services and they like to keep tabs on the politicans.

The French blew up a greenpeace ship, I can't see how they would think bugging the Germans would be a problem

If it were you, would you have anyone to find the correct building to plant the bugs?

you have stealth bugs now too?

Can't see why the British would bug a meeting room when they are involved in the meeting.

I would say blame the Vatican but they don't need bugs with God being the ultimate spy

Yeah, it's the French. This way if/when the bugs were discovered they can appear as victims, while no one knows they were retrieving the signals through hidden devices in their Eiffel Tower!


1 reason it wouldn't be Germany is...

The French have so many diplomats they need bugs to keep tabs on them

More seriously, if the bugs were in a usual EU-council meeting place, it could be about any EU-State or state interested in the EU : the EU-council is the most influencial place of power in the EU institutions, filled with inner debates where countries privately haggle according to their interests. Only the results of the hagglings are public.
There can be good information to be taken about member countries by listening to their debate.

Good point. You might not be able to tell whether this is a state agency or non-state agency.

I really do hope it isn't the US though. It might make TB position a littel vulnerable
