IT & Telecom's Nils Weidstam is interviewed in the magazine Farad on the occasion of the parliamentary discussion on the introduction of the EU Data Retention Directive.

Under the Data Retention Directive, EU Member States will legislate to require operators to retain traffic data on their customers' telephone and email communications. The aim is that the data can be used by the police when investigating serious crimes.
