EP rejects data retention proposal
http://www.edri.org/issues/privacy/dataretention

On 7 June 2005 the European Parliament has adopted the report of
LIBE-rapporteur Alexander Alvaro with a large majority. The report finds
the proposal for mandatory data retention disproportionate. The report
also questions the necessity, effectiveness and high costs for industry
and telecommunication users.
The JHA Council immediately explained to the MEPs that their advice will
be ignored. The Council refuses to withdraw the draft framework decision
and will continue to work on it.
