Are you referring to the Data Retention Directive [1], which was invalidated in 2014? Or are there still other EU-wide laws on data retention?

I wasn't aware it was invalidated. Of course, once each member state implemented this directive into national law and I don't believe the national laws immediately became void.

For example, a quick google shows that just last month the Constitutional Court in Romania declared the Big Brother law doesn't infringe on the constitutional rights so data retention continues. All data is kept for 3 years.
