Here is some more on that:

"As the EU-Parliament isn't respecting the idea behind its own 
directive about the protection of data we expect the members of the 
parliaments and governments of the EU-members to act as a necessary 
corrective"

Here are banners from the quintessential propaganda department in 
different languages. They can be useful or linking...

New SOS Privacy kampaign will be running until July 1. Results will 
be submitted to all national parliaments within the EU thereafter. 
Many of the Eu member states have not yet introduced new data 
retention laws. 

The first part of the joint kampaign by stop1984.com, quintessenz and 
EPIC attracted over 16.000 signatories in a mere ten days.

We knew we could hardly win against the broad majority of the 
socialdemocrat/conservative surveillance mafia that the turned the 
MEPs' voting into a farce.

BUT:

IT-industry lobbies in Germany - where a national decision on data 
retention is just coming up - jumped on the bandwaggon yesterday. The 
first kampaign got wide media coverage there [as well as in AT].
