I suspect it is limiting some "Big Data" and outsourcing use cases and lobbyists have been busy. Also there was a big blowup on so called "selectors" which were filter parameters given by the NSA to the German secret service. These selectors siphoned off private data to a foreign (US) goverment and when the story leaked people were interested to know what was handed out. The NSA of course is interested in keeping those secret. The new law would make this easier.
