ClaraFall - 24.05.2002 14:21
European Parliament faces crucial vote on 29 May to reject the governments´ demands on the retention of data and access by the law enforcement agencies.
EU governments are secretly drafting a binding Framework Decision to introduce the universal surveillance of telecommunications
>>Statewatch has learnt that in advance of the completion of the EU legislative process on proposals for the revision of the 1997 EU Directive on privacy in the telecommunications sector a number of EU governments are drafting a binding Framework Decision to ensure that all EU member states introduce a law requiring the retention of telecommunications traffic data
and the granting of access to it by law enforcement agencies (police, customs, immigration and internal security agencies).<<
