Well, lucky you. Here in the Netherlands the politicians have jumped on this law as an excuse to pass domestic laws for data retention. Although this excuse is now gone the laws are already in place and this court ruling might not mean that my government is obliged not to spy on me.
This ruling also doesn't necessarily prevent outsourcing of the spying to the USA.
