From the article:

> Next year, the EU Commission is set to present a Technology Roadmap on encryption to identify and evaluate decrypting solutions. These technologies are expected to equip Europol officers from 2030.

> Now, lawmakers promise to be committed to finding the right balance between "allowing for efficient and future-proof solutions to facilitate law enforcement’s lawful access to digital information, while respecting the right to privacy and maintaining high levels of cybersecurity," said EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, Magnus Brunner.

Basically the status now is "we've heard that most people think it is a really shitty idea, but we really, really think we can make it work and are going to come up with how! Just give us some time!"

It is misguided, wasted money and effort, and deserves to be called out as such; The chances of it actually being implemented are very, very small, however.
