Data retention is not the only problem.
As well as data retention, the European Commission is considering infraction
proceedings in relation to the UK's implementation of the main Data
Protection Directive via the DPA AND the Privacy in Electronic
Communications Regulations.
The UK is recidivist when it comes to failing to implementing Directives
from Europe intended to protect privacy - well to be fair, the last New
Labour government was the repeat offender.
See for example: Data Protection Act fails to implement 50% of the
Directive? at

implement-50-of-the-directive.html
