Despite their common declaration to do something against the "evil" of encryption, the French and the German texts of that declaration differ! The German version does not ask for laws to introduced backdoors or key escrow. See the (German) article at Netzpolitik [1]. The German minister of the interior pushes for a federal agency as a central organization to develop and deploy the "federal trojan". What they want are _targeted_ attacks on confidential communication. They know very well that backdoors, as requested by the French, are a bad idea. Whether the current German rules on when and how constitutional rights on privacy can lawfully be suspended are still in compliance with the constitution is a different question.
