"A Swedish letter, known in EU jargon as a "non-paper", was distributed to the other 26 governments in the Council in June.

In the five-page document, published by Statewatch, a civil liberties NGO, Sweden argues for the need for a "fundamental change of perspective" in the fight against organised crime and terrorism.

The call comes after more than a year of Swedish work in the EU to facilitate access to encrypted data traffic and encrypted content on computers and phones."
