Misleading title. This is about the program of the CDU, the party of chancellor Merkel. The CDU is not 'Germany'. Data retention law is currently ruled unconstitutional and it's not in place.

But the data is being collected anyway.

No, it was being collected, until the Bundesverfassungsgericht put a stop to that, and now the EU is pouting, which is still in progress.

I wish that were true. The data is collected anyway by the ISPs, but not necessarily stored 6 month (sometimes longer, sometimes shorter) and not on that foundation. There were some legal proceedings because of that.

The Verfassungsgericht ruled that collected data had to be deleted.

Sure provides may store data for themselves - for example for billing purposes.

And such data can be accessed by law enforcement agencies, see http://dejure.org/gesetze/TKG/113.html (also the old version).
