The law can only be applied in cases where there is a serious threat to national security defined in very strict terms, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) said. The decision comes after major attacks by Islamist militants in France, Belgium and Britain in recent years. Governments argue that access to data, especially that collected by telecommunications carriers, can help prevent such incidents, while communications providers and civil rights activists oppose such access.

The last case started when the Telekom και ο πάροχος υπηρεσιών διαδικτύου SpaceNet AG αμφισβήτησαν τον νόμο περί διατήρησης δεδομένων της Γερμανίας υποστηρίζοντας ότι παραβίαζε τους κανόνες της ΕΕ. Το γερμανικό δικαστήριο ζήτησε στη συνέχεια τη συμβουλή του CJEU, το οποίο ανέφερε ότι αυτού του είδους η διατήρηση δεδομένων μπορεί να επιτρέπεται μόνο υπό πολύ αυστηρές προϋποθέσεις.

“The Court confirms that EU law precludes the general and indiscriminate retention of traffic data and s, except in the case of a very serious threat to national security," the judges said.

However, the same court also left a loophole "to combat serious crime, Member States may, strictly respecting the principle of proportionality, provide for, among other things, the targeted or rapid retention of such data and the general and indiscriminate retention of IP addresses ".
