It seems the vote passed [1], meaning the existing Regulation [(EU) 2021/1232] was _extended_ until August 3 2027, with some amendments to the previous text:

- added targeted scanning requirement

- scanning must be “targeted, specified and limited… where there are reasonable grounds of suspicion… identified by a judicial authority”

That should completely change the regulation from mass surveillance to targeted wiretapping with a warrant.
