Data retention rules under attack in the European Union? After the judgements of the Constitutional Courts of Germany and Romania another decision of an important Constitutional Court annulled the law transposing the Data Retention Directive - Po sulmohen rregullat mbi ruajtjen e të dhënave në Bashkimin Evropian? Pas vendimit të Gjykatave Kushtetuese të Gjermanisë dhe Rumanisë, një tjetër vendimi i një Gjykate Kushtetuese të rëdesishme anullon ligjin që aplikon direktiven mbi ruajtjen e të dhenave

On 31st March 2011 the Constitutional Court of Czech Republic annulled the law transposing the Data Retention Directive (2006/24/EC) on the basis that it was unconstitutional. This judgement dealt with matters similar to the ones which have been the object of the recent decisions of the Bundesverfassungsgericht (2010) and the Romanian Curtea Constituţională (2009) and they have raised the question: are data retention rules under attack in the European Union? The work will answer to the question, taking into account the evaluation report on the “Data Retention Directive” of the EU Commission and the perspectives after the Treaty of Lisbon.
