I notice that the article doesn't go into the specifics of what the
Europeans conceded and what, if anything, the Americans agreed to
limit. The problem wasn't so much what European law enforcement
agencies wanted to do, it was what European law *said* they and others
could do. Which was much less than what they wanted and much much less
than what the US was already doing. I don't see this as being anything
other than bad news.

Cheers,
Chris
