That is the good part. The bad part is that in that jurisdiction
the government can legally compel any company or individual to
assist it by whatever means deemed necessary in the subversion
of communication secrecy in any product it provides to the
public. While this may - and has been - tested in court, I very
much doubt GnuPG has the resources to to so.
All of this is however hypothetical: EU is simply attempting to
gain the same access to communication mass-surveillance that
the vendors of operating systems and hardware devices already
provide to the authorities of their domicile jurisdictions under
the arrangement described in the previous paragraph.
