Wow, some good news, that's rare :)

Now UK, I hope you are watching...

it’s too late anyway. Math exists. They can ban and back door some encryption implementations all they want, but the genie is already out of the bottle. It has been since Egyptian times (substitution ciphers). Possibly earlier… who knows? I’m not a cryptography expert but I suspect I could write an extremely difficult-to-crack key-based encryption/decryption algorithm myself in an hour or less. I think we need to accept this reality and move on.

Well there'll be a new pandemic soon to sneak it back through without anyone noticing.

The final legislation will be negotiated between three institutions.
1. European Commission - their position remains unchanged;
2. The Council - their position has not been concluded but will probably not be very positive;
3. The European Parliament, whose position is likely to be more or less okay.
One of three negotiating entities wishing to protect encryption does not mean that encryption will be protected.
Great news, but this battle isn’t nearly over.
