Misleading title, the council approves their mandate for negotiations with parliament. It’s still a long way to go before it turns into law and I think it’s rather unpopular in parliament.

I think it's just the trialogue left, so still some distance but comfortably past halfway to becoming valid law.

There's been so much drama over the years about this proposal from the commission I doubt von der Leyen will want to fight to get the scanning back in.

Terrorists are winning. If husband wanted to control wife's phone, read all messages, that is jail time in many countries. But if bureaucrats in nice suits want to abuse Europeans all at once, then it is fine.

Germany get you s*t together and issue arrest warrants for this lot. They seem to be breaking German laws.
