Hi,

Can I ask what the difference is between the Interception Modernisation Programme which has been revived after a governement utirn and the current Data retention directive?

From what I understand (which might not be a lot) under the data retention directive all of the information propossed in the Interception Modernisation Programme is already stored for 12 months anyway so does anyone know what the difference is between the two?

Thanks in advance
 
The "new" coalition government had originally pledged in May 2010 to "end the storage of internet and email records without good reason", so in theory reviving the IMP, which is more about how that data can be used and potentially extending the powers for what can be collected (e.g. online chat logs - content of a communication), would appear to be in contradiction.

However at present we don't know what structure the government will reveal for the IMP and I suspect that it may increase interception of some content but scale back in other areas so that it only takes place when necessary. But that's all just speculation, the simple fact is that we don't know until they tell us more.
 
Imp

the IMP was the programme implementing a modernised communications data capability in the face of a new (internet) communications world

the data retention directive is the piece of EU law that requires all EU members states to retain communications data for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 24 months
