Well it's not a ringing endorsement by any stretch of the imagination. Strikes me as a non-committal "We know what they're claiming. It's something that we're looking at and we think more could and should be done" sort of thing. It neither endorses nor berates them and it doesn't say anything about taking action against them under EU legislation.

It's a bit like my cover drive - looks good initially but is a bit wet at the point of impact and ultimately a bit disappointing.

I've got a vague recollection that the EU had already said that IP addresses were classed as personal data?

I'm sure someone more knowledgable about the EU and legal issues can out me right there. It's late and my making cricket analogies means it's bedtime.
