The Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) ruled last April that specific
EU rules on data retention by telecoms providers, set out under the EU Data Retention Directive, disproportionately infringed on privacy rights enjoyed by EU citizens.
In its opinion, the European Parliament's Legal Services unit said EU
countries, since the CJEU's judgment, have had the option of either
repealing their own laws on data retention or maintaining them. However,
it said that should countries choose to maintain the rules then those
rules must adhere to the e-Privacy Directive.
"It is … clear that, as a result of the invalidity of the Data
Retention Directive, Article 15(1) of the e-Privacy Directive is …
applicable to the national measures dealing with data retention in the
electronic communications sector," the Legal Services unit said,
according to the leaked document published by civil liberties group Access (27-page / 3.85MB PDF).
