EU agency backtracks on Skype crime claims

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

This is old, I know, but not sure if this was mentioned during the Skype thread
http://linuxbox.org/pipermail/funsec/2009-February/019601.html
etc.

"Eurojust, an agency under the European Union that coordinates judicial cooperation across member states,
has significally altered a statement in which it said criminals were using Skype to avoid detection by the authorities.

Eurojust had announced it planned to "play a key role in the coordination and cooperation of the investigations on the 
use of
Internet telephony systems (VoIP), such as Skype."
The agency said its role would be to smooth out the technical and judicial obstacles to the interception of internet 
telephony systems,
taking into account the various data protection rules and civil rights."
