Bing to reduce the amount of time IP addresses are stored»
From 18 months to six months in response to pressure from the EU.
The Article 29 committee, comprising data protection officials from all 27 E.U. countries, has asked the leading search engine makers to respond to their concerns by the end of this month.

I wonder how Google will respond to the Article 29 committee.
