Data Retention on the Internet – Legal Action by Access to Information Programme in Bulgaria - 2008
The case of AIP against the Data Retention in the Internet Regulation is going to be heard on November 13, 2008 before the second instance court. With a decision as of July 17, 2008, a three member panel of the Bulgarian Supreme Administrative Court rejected the appeal of AIP against the Regulation # 40 as of 2008 issued by the State Agency on Information Technologies and Communication and the Ministry of Interior, which binds the mobile operators and internet providers to retain data on electronic messages and phone calls. AIP filed the initial apeal against the Regulation on March 19.
