Dutch here. The argumentation is remarkably good. The privacy like you have with letters and phone calls is part of our constitution, and also part of European guidelines. The rules to violate this privacy, only in certain cases, is already part of the law (eg. wiretaps under suspicion). ISPs have to cooperate where possible.

That the dutch intelligence services are now hampered by end-to-end encryption making the ISPs have no way to cooperate any more, is basically the problem of the intelligence services to solve, and not a legal problem. Hence, encryption stays in place.
