EU Ministers Agree to Compromise on Telecom Data

An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

European Union interior and justice ministers struck a compromise on a controversial plan to increase police access to telephone and Internet records, diplomats said.

The measures could oblige businesses to keep details about callers, such as to whom they spoke, where and when, for up to two years. They would apply to land telephone lines and mobile phones, text messages, and Internet data.

Police would not have access to the conversation or message itself.
