In mid-September, the ECJ made another decision on data retention. In this new episode of Weggeforscht, research assistants Johanna Voget and Klaus Palenberg report on the ruling, according to which targeted and warrantless retention, as provided for under the current German regulation, is not compatible with European law. They also point out the leeway that remains for the legislator after the decision from Luxembourg and examine the first political approaches to a solution.
The corresponding Infobrief can be found here(DFN-Infobrief Recht 11/2022 from page 10) and the full text of the ruling here.
