I don't know what's the fetish of the Nordic countries with breaking encryption at the EU level, but if they don't want to be in it, they can be like Norway or just leave the EU altogether. Mind you that Sweden taps the internet cables that transit through them.
Also, Germany wanted to be in five eyes at one point, but they were never accepted.
Isnt it obvious? Then anyone can read the US national security group chats!
