Clarke to renew drive on internet data storage

Preview of an emergency Justice and Home Affairs meeting in Brussels on 13 July 2005 at which the United Kingdom was to press for controversial anti-terrorism laws on storage of telecommunications and internet data after the terrorist attacks in London on 7 July 2005. The proposed laws, which would require telephone and e-mail records to be stored for at least twelve months, have met with opposition from the European Commission, MEPs, industry and civil liberties groups.
