I may be wrong, but I think you're referring to the Intercept Modernisation Program or the "Snooping charter" here in the UK rather than Europe as a whole.
For a country that is apparently crippled with deficit, it's amazing that after having been abandoned by the previous Labour government, it's crept back in, sneekily being announced by the Tories in the spending review a couple of weeks ago. Bear in mind that one of the reasons the previous government abandoned it because it was likely to cost far more than the original £2 billion estimate.
