A new and alarming amendment concerning data retention has been approved by the Chamber of Deputies and is now to be examined by the Senate. The initiative, intentionally proposed in at a time of low political activity, would allow electronic communications providers to retain their clients' data for six years.

However, the six-year retention window is not compliant with EU regulations, giving hope that the amendment will be rejected.
