Euro Deputies Push Through Anti-Terror Telecom Measures
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:
EU lawmakers voted to allow police greater access to telephone and Internet data, but the proposed measures fall far short of a tough European anti-terror package Britain is seeking.
The vote, by the European Parliament's justice and home affairs committee, would see telecommunications data held for six to 12 months and force EU member states to pay the costs they might impose on companies.
The measures have to be adopted by the full EU assembly in mid-December.
They would oblige businesses to keep details about callers, such as who they spoke to, where and when, and would apply to land telephone lines and mobile phones, text messages, and Internet protocols.
