The vast majority of ETSI standards are published as PDF. I can't say I see
evidence of a conspiracy in that fact alone. However, there is ample
evidence of SIGINT-driven design decisions in the /contents/ of many, if not
most, of the security and "privacy" standards thus published.
In particular, ETSI's Security Algorithm Group of Experts (SAGE), the
membership of which is not disclosed to the public, has published numerous
algorithms that are interception friendly by design.

> Abstract: ETSI and 3GPP are currently completing a series of GPRS Packet
> Data Intercept standards for 2.5G and 3G mobile systems. The ETSI SMG10
> WPD/3GPP SA3 Joint Working Group on Lawful Intercept proposes harmonized
> packet data intercept standards with TR-45, T1P1 and 3GPP2. WPD is
> interested in co-operating with TR-45 towards this goal. There is the
> potential here to have a single TIA/T1P1/3GPP2/ETSI/3GPP method
> and format
> for intercepting packet data service in mobile networks. Such a result
> would have obvious economy of scale benefits to manufacturers and service
> providers. The accompanying documents, ETSI TS 101 509 and 3GPP TS 33.107
> are the latest version of these packet data intercept specifications.
> Please review these standards as part of your own packet data standard
> work. Also let us know of your interest in developing a harmonized set of
> packet data standards.
