• Resumen

  • The Dutch Telecommunications Data Retention Act (Wet bewaarplicht telecommunicatiegegevens) has been suspended as of 11 March 2015. The Act required providers of public telecommunications services and networks to retain traffic and location data of telephone and internet communications, for the purpose of investigating serious crimes. Telephone data had to be retained for twelve months; internet data for six months. The Act implemented the Data Retention Directive (2006/24/EC) (see IRIS 2006-3/110), which the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) invalidated in the Digital Rights Ireland case (C-293/12).
