Wiretapping: New high-level police working group to formulate "a joint response to the impending massive impacts of 5G"
A new senior police working group will try to advance the police demand to retain wiretapping abilities with 5G technology. However, the technical architecture of 5G makes this extremely difficult, if not impossible. The German Presidency is seeking formal recognition from the Council's Law Enforcement Working Party for this new body, named the 'European Heads of Lawful Interception Units'. As well as EU and Schengen states, the UK will apparently also be involved.
👀 👉🏼 See: NOTE from: Presidency to: Delegations: Lawful Interception - Strengthening EU cooperation (11517/20, LIMITE, 13 October 2020, pdf): https://www.statewatch.org/media/1407/eu-council-wiretapping-lawful-interception-cooperation-11517-20.pdf
The document notes that the "primary aim" of the European Heads of Lawful Interception Units is:
"to facilitate better cooperation and mutual understanding of the needs, challenges and priorities of lawful interception (LI) units within the member states."
The reasons for this new structure are "the impending massive impacts of 5G", which will make traditional methods of telecommunications interception redundant.
