26.12.2007: Press statement: President Horst Köhler signs Data Retention Act Author: Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung (Working Group against Data Retention), 2007-12-26 Today President Horst Köhler signed the German act on telecommunications data retention. Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung, the German Working Group against Data Retention, and numerous other non-governmental organizations and trade associations [1], however, are meeting Köhler's approval with bewilderment, criticizing sharply the law reform introducing an obligatory 6-months data retention for all telecommunications service providers as being in violation of the bill of rights granted by Germany's federal constitution. Due to its serious constitutional concerns the working group, together with more than 25,000 co-appellants, is about to file a complaint with the German Federal Constitutional Court. In his 150-pages petition[2], Berlin resident attorney Meinhard Starostik is further applying for a preliminary injunction to immediately suspend obligatory data retention on the grounds of "obvious unconstitutionality". A more detailed press statement will be released shortly.
