EU: MANDATORY DATA RETENTION DIRECTIVE: European Commission Consultation concludes: "all Member States - not just a minority – need to provide convincing evidence of the value of data retention for security and criminal justice":

"there are serious shortcomings with the EU framework – including retention periods, clarity of purpose limitation and scope, lack of reimbursement of cost to industry, safeguards for access and use - which must be addressed. In particular, all Member States - not just a minority – need to provide convincing evidence of the value of data retention for security and criminal justice."
