Abstract

The European Court of Justice has held that the Data Retention Directive entails a wideranging and particularly serious interference with Art 7 and 8 CFREU, without that interference being limited to what is strictly necessary to achieve the objectives of the Directive. While the incoming European Commission plans to explore options for future rules on the retention of electronic communications data at EU level, questions arise as to the judgment’s legal consequences for the Member States.
