One document obtained by Statewatch notes that “there is a need for a regulatory framework that safeguards the advantages of end-to-end encryption without compromising the ability of law enforcement agencies and judicial authorities to protect the general public”.
It added that in order to preserve the crime-fighting capacities of EU police authorities, “new solutions may be required with the support of service providers.”
