Well, this CoE stuff doesn't deal with "national security" matters, 
doesn't mention FISA or FISAAA (or PAA) or comparble laws (to thes 
extent there are any), and I was speaking at subsequent conferences 
where two of the author's learned about the gruesome details of FISAAA 
1881a from me (and were rather taken aback because it manifestly broke ECHR)

Aside form that, right on topic Roland
