Представитель германского МИД Мартин Шефер заявил: «Немецкие дипломаты знают, что за их деятельностью могут наблюдать иностранные спецслужбы, и принимают соответствующие меры предосторожности, однако никто в МИД не мог ожидать шпионажа со стороны БНД». Ну заявил и заявил. А что дальше?

Now, declarations are all well and good...
Meaning, simply declaring/saying it isn't enough -- action is needed.
