If the European Commission were minded to intervene to force operators
to improve the traceability of online communications to facilitate law
enforcement investigations, I would expect DG HOME would likely be the
lead on that, or at least the prime instigator.

So in this context I take it as a more interesting to hear from the
Commissioner for Home Affairs that he accepts CGN is "unavoidable" than
to hear the same thing from the Commissioner for the Digital Single
Market. It seems a stronger signal that no regulatory intervention is
likely, at least for the time being.
