Attorney General on Data Retention Directive

Yesterday, the long awaited Opinion of Advocate General in joined cases C-293/12 a C-594/12 was finally presented. It could have been even more radical when approaching the Directive 2006/24/EC, but the Directive did receive a serious blow. Opinion among other things explicitly states that the Directive is incompatible with the standard of human right set by Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

The Opinion is available via EUR-Lex (Celex number 62012CC0293).
