That’s certainly not the case yet in Germany. There, it won’t come into effect until 2009. Each member state is different. There’s no requirement yet in Sweden, the home of Relakks, either. Also, does this EU directive apply to private individuals, when not engaged in a commercial activity? Even after the start of 2009, would the Chaos Computer Club’s Tor node be required to retain logs for twelve months? Is the directive going to catch every user of Skype with a non-NAT IP address, anonymous P2P client or game server within the EU?
