Law says any change of connection data (replacing IP/Port) has to be logged in conjunction with the old connection. So you would have a list of IP/port (original) and IP/Port (new). Depending on the multiplexing of the Tor connections that _could_ lead to a connection being traceable. Furthermore it does not does not fully specify what "connection data" is. I am pretty sure that they will claim that streams have to be identified. In that case even the multiplexing wont help us anymore. An additional problem could be when they define Tor as being _one_ service and not something provided by many service_s_. In that case there would be some end-to-end logging that they require. The bureaucrats comments of the law proposal are pretty telling and it seems like they want all the tools for total oppression. One thing however that could help us is that the logging requirements don't seem to affect every kind of traffic but only certain types (Web,Mail,Voip). If they forget to put Tor in the list specifically it could create a loophole for us.
