How your representatives in EU parliament voted: https://mepwatch.eu/9/vote.html?v=134463&country=fr%7Cde

Looks like it's mostly german representatives that block it. They remember the stasi.

It was the one good thing the german liberal party FDP was good for, but they aimed to destroy the coalition from the inside (literally! they made plans and discussion meetings when the best time to destroy it would be). And now they are out and we have the SPD and the Greens left. So one party who really has a hard on for surveillance and the other one who is undecided.
