What do you think about the NSA bugging European Union offices in the US and in Brussels?

“The United States has bugged European Union offices and gained access to EU internal computer networks, according to secret documents cited in a German magazine on Saturday, the latest in a series of exposures of alleged U.S. spy programs.”

“Documents from September, 2010 classified as ‘top secret’ by the National Security Agency, which were leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, revealed how the agency planted bugs at the EU offices in Washington and in New York and gained access to their internal computer networks. This enabled the NSA not only to snoop into the conversations at the EU missions, but also to monitor the emails and internal documents on their computers, the news weekly, Der Spiegel, reported in its latest edition.”

Are European elected representatives seen as potential terrorists? What is the justification?
