UK sets out case for data logs to fight terror
Aine Gallagher writes for Reuters:
Britain, which is pushing for new EU laws on data retention, said on Wednesday that logging and storing telephone calls, email and Internet use had helped its police trap suspected terrorists.
European Union states have agreed to speed up plans for common rules on the use of data after the July 7 London attacks but the strategy has drawn criticism from EU lawmakers and the European telecommunications industry.
Britain's Home Office, or interior ministry, cited examples of where stored telephone calls, email and Internet use had proved essential in crime investigations.
Britain currently holds the rotating chair of the EU.
